• Proven ability to own outcomes in a SaaS or software setting and deliver measurable results.

• Solid financial judgment, including comfort with business cases, unit economics, and investment trade-offs.
• Ability to bring structure to ambiguous problems by diagnosing root causes, framing options, and driving decisions.
• Willingness to travel up to 50% to the Wilmington, DE headquarters.

Preferred background
