Key responsibilities include supporting the Monthly Business Review process, contributing to strategic initiatives (including M&A, operational improvements, digital initiatives, and go-to-market strategy), and informing strategic decisions.

This is a fully remote position that offers a competitive salary range of $80,000 to $95,000, plus an annual bonus. You'll also receive our excellent benefits package, which includes medical coverage starting on day one and a company-matched 401(k).
