We are seeking a Chief of Staff(to the CFO) to support high-impact modeling and analytical work directly tied to the company’s most important strategic initiatives.

- Conduct ROI, scenario, and sensitivity analyses to evaluate the impact of business initiatives
- Collaborate with internal stakeholders to gather data and assumptions for model inputs
- Support preparation of executive- and board-facing materials
What We Look For: - 4+ years of experience in investment banking, private equity, and/or a similarly rigorous analytical role, with subsequent strategic finance experience at a fast-paced, scaling company a plus
- Strong financial modeling and Excel skills, with the ability to build models from scratch
- Comfortable working with ambiguity and making assumptions grounded in logic and business judgment
- Strong communication skills, especially in distilling data into concise insights
- Motivated by working in a fast-paced, high-growth, PE-backed environment
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, or a related field
Why This Role: - Unique opportunity to work side-by-side with executive leadership at a PE-backed, high-growth company
- Exposure to the real-world application of financial modeling in strategic decision-making
- Fast-track path into strategic operating roles, corporate development, or future investing opportunities
- High-impact work that drives value creation and business transformation
What We Offer: - Competitive base salary
- Annual performance bonus
- Unlimited PTO
- Company paid healthcare
- 401(k) Retirement Plan with match
