You'd fit in 💯 if
- You're self-driven. You'll often work with the sales and operations teams, but will largely be working alone without constant oversight.
- You've worked with startups. You'll be the first of your kind to work with us. We'll be learning from you much more than you think. Have you built financial strategies for companies? Have you handled the accounting process for a startup before? We don’t care about your degree but having prior finance & accounting experience is important.
- You love financial data. At the core of your job is to find insights from all the company’s financial data. You can grasp our history and our partners' stories and are able to create unique narratives for each customer on the go.
- You understand business. You can quickly understand different markets, their nitty-gritty, and how Fold might be able to enter and help existing businesses with their goals.
- You can dive deep into a company's operations. Companies themselves often don't know what they're missing out on and what they need to succeed. You should be able to spot these opportunities for them and pitch valuable solutions, even if they might not involve finance.
