- Experience: 3+ years of professional experience in a fast-paced, highly analytical environment (Tech startups, Management Consulting, Investment Banking).
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in STEM, Economics, Business or a related quantitative discipline from a leading university.
- Strong analytical skills.
- Relentless Ownership: You thrive in high-stakes, ambiguous environments, operate with extreme urgency, and do whatever it takes to conquer a new market.
- Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence external partners and collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams.
- Eligibility to work in the US or obtain an E-2 visa (for eligible UK citizens), and willingness to travel extensively.
- Professional fluency in English.
What We Offer
- Base salary of $120-180k per year, plus an annual bonus and equity in a high-growth scale-up.
