• Build and maintain scenario analyses to support strategic decision-making (e.g., growth, hiring, pricing, cost structure)

• Partner closely with Sales and RevOps to improve pipeline visibility, forecast accuracy, and overall GTM performance

• Translate pipeline, bookings, and customer data into actionable insights that inform forecast and operating decisions

• Define, track, and continuously improve KPIs and dashboards across the business

• Support monthly close in partnership with Accounting to ensure consistency between actuals and forecast inputs

• Assist in commission modeling, plan validation, and payout accuracy

• Deliver high-quality ad hoc analyses to support leadership and Board-level discussions

• Experience partnering with Sales and RevOps to improve forecasting rigor and data quality

• Experience leveraging AI tools to improve productivity and analysis

• NetSuite experience strongly preferred

• Experience in a high-growth tech environment preferred

• Strong attention to detail with ability to connect the dots across the business

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity with a bias toward action and ownership

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who takes ownership of the numbers end-to-end, not just reporting them

• Strong business partner who can challenge assumptions and improve outcomes

• Operator mindset: cares deeply about data quality, process, and execution

• High accountability, low ego, willing to roll up sleeves

The annual salary range for this position is $128,000 - $152,000 USD or $110,000 - $132,000 CAD, plus equity. Please note that the final offer amount is determined by multiple factors, including geographic location as well as candidate experience, and may vary from the amounts listed above​.
