- Analyze unit economics, including LTV, ROI, retention, and cohort performance, and translate business results into actionable financial insights.

- Support evaluation of new products, pricing initiatives, and business opportunities from a financial perspective.
- Contribute to automation and improvement of forecasting, reporting, dashboards, and planning processes.
- Communicate financial insights, assumptions, and recommendations clearly to cross-functional stakeholders and leadership teams.
