- Partner with Product, Finance, and commercial teams to evaluate strategic opportunities and explain how demand, architecture, hardware, capacity, and contract assumptions affect deal margins.
- Track major investments from demand and approval through procurement, manufacturing, deployment, and invoicing; identify gaps, risks, and required follow-ups.
- Turn ambiguous stakeholder questions into structured workplans, gather evidence across systems and teams, and develop decision-ready recommendations.

- Strong structured problem-solving skills: ability to break unclear questions into testable components and identify drivers.
- Experience with, or strong interest in, product economics, deal modeling, cost allocation, pricing, or margin analysis.
