- Experience using SQL, Python, BI platforms, financial planning systems or AI-assisted financial analysis highly desirable
- MBA, CFA, CPA or advanced degree in finance, economics, accounting or a quantitative discipline preferred
- Exceptional professional experience may substitute for formal credentials
- Experience at a leading investment bank, private equity/growth equity firm, major fintech/payments company, global technology platform or successful venture-backed company particularly attractive
- International experience and experience modeling across currencies, regulatory environments and geographic markets strongly preferred
- Ability to work directly with the Founder & CEO and senior technical/product leadership in an early-stage environment
- Must be willing to personally build the model
- Comfortable with ambiguity, shifting priorities and early-stage company growth
- Understanding of football and international sports is a huge plus
