## Description

We are seeking a Strategic Finance Manager to collaborate with cross-functional leaders and drive outcomes across the business.

- Support our product, engineering, marketing, and commercial sales teams with detailed custom financial modeling, scenario analysis, and market insights for prospective products and initiatives.

- Analyze actual financial results vs budget/forecast and partner with business leaders to drive insightful and actionable decision support.

- Help manage the financial model, including forecasting, budgeting, resource allocation and long-range planning.

- Support the Accounting Team in month-end and quarter-end close processes and audit support.

- Prepare analyses for potential strategic acquisition, partnership, or investment opportunities.

### What we're looking for in you:

- Strong verbal and written communication skills. Not afraid to speak up when seeking answers to critical issues and comfortable presenting recommendations to executives.

- Strong ownership mentality. Must be detail oriented and committed to producing work at a high standard.

- Strong leadership and communication skills

- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets modeling and technical skills
