Our take: The real work here is being the trusted finance partner to the CTO, owning R&D planning and forecasts, and making large-scale technical spend predictable while leading an AI-driven overhaul of how finance works.
If you love being the finance brain at the leadership table, turning engineering headcount, cloud bills and AI costs into a story executives can act on, this role is built for you. You will partner closely with the CTO, own the R&D operating plan, and reinvent how finance planning works with AI at the center. It rewards people who enjoy both sharp modelling and the quieter craft of making complex spend predictable and clear.
