- Proven track record of business partnering with senior stakeholders (e.g. Product, Engineering, Operations), providing commercial analysis, business case support, and strategic planning in a dynamic business context.
- Advanced analytical skills, high attention to detail, and comfort "rolling up your sleeves" in ambiguous, unstructured environments.
- Strong written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills, including the ability to bring numbers to life for non-finance audiences.
- Ability to navigate data challenges and drive improvements with limited existing playbooks.
- A collaborative, curious, and growth-focused mindset, ready to make a meaningful impact on Culture Amp's financial evolution.
- Confidence using Sheets/Excel (G-suite), and ability to refine and automate routine processes.
- (Bonus points for) Experience with Netsuite, and/or Workday Adaptive; experience with reporting and data visualization tools a plus.
- (Bonus points for) CPA or CA qualification; other relevant credentials considered.
- (Bonus points for) Fluency with key SaaS operating metrics (e.g. ARR, CAC, LTV, churn, NRR), data-driven thinking, and financial scenario modelling.

- Resilient and adaptable, comfortable working with ambiguity and across competing priorities.
- Passionate about continuous improvement, team culture, and doing what's right for the business.
