What hiring managers scan for

The first 12 seconds.

Top signals: model granularity (cohort-level vs aggregate), forecast accuracy versus actuals, partner stakeholders served (CRO / CTO / CEO) and one decision your analysis changed.

Common pitfalls

What to avoid.

  • Skipping the decision that the analysis enabled — finance work is judged by the call it supported.
  • Tool lists (Excel, Anaplan) without the analysis they powered.
