## Qualifications

- BA/BS degree, preferably in a Finance, Accounting, Data Science, or other quantitative field
- 4+ years experience in an FP&A or other analytical field
- 2+ years of direct experience building models, forecast input templates, dashboards, and business process development
- Experience with annual budgeting, rolling forecasting, and long-term strategic planning
- Experience working directly with best-in-class planning and reporting tools (Anaplan, OneStream, Looker, etc.)
- Highly analytical, with proven ability to synthesize and analyze large amounts of data to develop clear insights and recommendations
- Ability to develop strong, cross-functional working relationships across the finance team and beyond

Bonus Qualifications

- Experience in the TNC, Transportation, or other mobility/fleet operations industries
