About the Role

You will be the analytical partner for one of our portfolio companies. Investment and Operating Leads will bring you their hardest revenue questions: why retention moved, where new customer revenue actually comes from, which pricing change is worth making. Those questions often arrive half-formed. Your job is to find the real question, get the data, build the analysis, and deliver a recommendation that holds up in front of our Ops and Investment teams, a portfolio company CEO, or firm leadership. You will sit in a pod with a Data Analytics Lead who owns the portfolio company relationship and a platform team that builds the data pipes. You own the analysis, the dashboards, the recommendation, and its revenue impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Own value-creation analysis for your portfolio company: retention and cohorts, pricing and packaging, pipeline and funnel yield, and revenue source mapping.

• Build from raw data, not someone else’s summary. Pull and check the numbers yourself in SQL, our BI tools, and our AI agents.

• Use AI to compress your cycle time, and flag what should be automated for everyone.

• Turn findings into recommendations with a quantified revenue impact, a clear owner, and a next step.

• Support new deals and add-ons when the deal team needs speed.

• Turn any analysis that gets requested twice into a reusable template or tool for the portfolio and the whole Ops team.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of experience in SaaS FP&A or strategic finance, technology investment banking, or strategy consulting with software clients.

• Command of SaaS economics: ARR bridges, gross and net retention, cohorts, pricing, and unit economics.

• Experience building models from scratch and producing output that executives can use without rework.

• Proficiency in SQL and comfort in messy, raw data; demonstrated ability to use AI tools or automation, ideally without being asked.

• Structured thinker who can break complex revenue processes into systems of components, root causes, and dependencies.

• Hands-on, execution-oriented, and accountable for results—this is a building role, not an advisory one.

• Curious, experimental operator who takes feedback well and continuously tests new approaches and technologies

• Experience owning a relationship with a CFO, CRO, or business unit leader is preferred

Location

• San Francisco, hybrid work model

Compensation

• The annual base salary range for this role is $145,000 - $155,000, taking into account numerous variable factors that are considered in making compensation decisions including but not limited to skill sets, experience, training, licensure, certifications, and organizational requirements.
