About this role

About the work We're building a high-quality library of strategic finance work products. You'll complete self-contained exercises from mock files (market data, cost baselines, pricing schedules) and produce the deliverable for each, graded against a rubric.

What you'll do

  • Build business cases and investment appraisals with NPV, IRR and payback for a project, product, or make-versus-buy decision.
  • Produce capital allocation determinations ranking investments against hurdle rates with portfolio review.
  • Build scenario and sensitivity analyses of the corporate plan across demand, pricing and cost.
  • Analyze pricing and discount economics supporting price setting and deal desk approvals with margin impact.
  • Produce market sizing and competitive landscape analysis, cohort and unit economics, and cost baseline and savings analysis for a cost reduction program.

You're a fit if you have

  • 4+ years in strategic finance, corporate strategy, or corporate planning inside an operating company.
  • Ownership of a capital or pricing decision that went to a leadership forum.

Nice to have

  • Management consulting or Big 4 strategy background now in an operator seat; growth equity background now in-house; deal desk or pricing strategy experience.

Assessment A business case with NPV and IRR from mock project files; a pricing and margin recommendation; a capital allocation ranking.

Note: at some companies this seat reads as Corporate Planning or Business Analysis. Fund-side strategy roles are out of scope.
