  • Leverage modern tech & AI by using Pigment as our core FP&A planning platform and Claude AI to accelerate data analysis, reporting, and scenario modeling.
  • Execute business case & strategic modeling by performing ad-hoc business case evaluations and scenario analyses to guide strategic technology initiatives and investment decisions.
  • Support financial operations by partnering with Accounting during the month-end close process to complete variance analysis and assist with R&D financial reporting.

  • Hands-on experience with modern FP&A platforms (specifically Pigment) and comfort using AI tools (such as Claude AI) to drive analytical productivity.
  • Exposure to or strong interest in R&D and technology finance (e.g., engineering headcount planning, cloud infrastructure costs, or software capitalization).
  • Tech-savvy with strong analytical skills and the ability to learn new systems and workflows quickly.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and presentation skills to interact effectively with engineering leaders and executive management.
  • Collaborative mentality by prioritizing 'we' and not focusing on 'me'.
