We are building a platform to power the flow of data globally. It might sound ambitious, but we are well on accomplishing this mission!
Crux is transforming how companies work with data. For years, data discovery, ingestion, and operations have been expensive, time-consuming, and frustrating for data teams looking to harness large quantities of data. We are solving this challenge by enabling enterprises with tools and operations services that facilitate the onboarding and delivery of any dataset to end customers how, and where, they want it. In our lingo, we’re ushering in the third generation of ETL with data mesh capabilities for enterprises.
We are one of the fastest growing technology companies, with a strong culture focused on learning, excellence, teamwork, and ownership. Founded in 2017 by a seasoned team of data professionals, Crux has grown to over 100 employees and is backed by industry powerhouses, including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Two Sigma.
We are looking for an innovative, analytical Strategic Finance Analyst to join the FP&A Team, serving as a trusted advisor to leaders across the business. In this role you will partner with internal clients with the goal of driving growth and facilitating the success of the organization. You will partner with sales, marketing, business operations, engineering, product, HR, and the rest of the Crux finance team to not only provide reporting but more importantly provide analysis to further the success of each group.
This is a highly visible role and will report to Crux’s Finance Director. You will help manage the budgeting & forecasting processes and partner with the business to provide fact-based analytics to enable decisions. Additionally, this role will participate in broader strategic finance team projects and initiatives such as product pricing & analysis, systems and process improvements, corporate development, and investor and board reporting.
The role requires a strong team player that can leverage technology to enable financial processes and systems to support the Company’s fast rate of growth. The role will report to the Director of Finance but will partner closely with members of the Leadership Team.
