Senior Finance Manager, Skylight

• Naturally curious - if you see something that doesn’t make sense or piques your interest, you naturally want to get to the bottom of it
• Collaborative - we all have our own areas of expertise but everything we do impacts other teams so working cohesively with other teams is imperative
• Comfortable with ambiguity - we’re a startup and we often need to make decisions with imperfect information on short timelines
• Detail oriented - a must for any finance role; you double check your formulas and sanity check deliverables
• Strong communicator - you turn complex analyses into simple narratives, “so-what’s” and executive-ready materials
• Highly organized with strong time and expectation management - we have a lot to do, but it’s important that we’re honest with each other about how much can be done in a day
• Builder of better ways - you proactively streamline and automate current-state processes to create durable improvements
• 5-7 years of progressive finance experience (investment banking, management consulting or accounting) with at least 2 years in FP&A/strategic finance
• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics or similarly quantitative field
• Strong financial modeling skills with advanced Excel skillset. You have built and maintained a 3-statement financial model and will be asked to complete a case study in the interview process to demonstrate this
• Solid command of GAAP and revenue recognition; can translate accounting outcomes into forward-looking drivers
• Able to work US–Pacific hours
