  • Build and maintain financial models for unit economics, scenario planning, and strategic decisions.
  • Prepare investor updates, board decks, and KPI dashboards.
  • Handle ad-hoc finance and strategy projects such as grant applications, partnership economics, and contract analysis.
  • Collaborate with external accountants, auditors, and legal counsel on compliance, tax, and corporate housekeeping.

Requirements

  • 1-3 years of experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, corporate finance, or a high-growth startup finance team.
  • Excellent financial modeling skills (Excel/Sheets).
