Rather than waiting for a fully-defined process, you are a self-starter who builds structure where none exists. You instinctively ask the questions that keep a business honest: * Are we on plan? Where are the gaps between what we planned and what is actually happening? * What's driving the data? Why do numbers not reconcile across teams, and is variance structural or a one-off? * What does this mean going forward? What has shifted in the forecast, and what needs to be buttoned up before the next business review?The ideal candidate can dive deep into the detail, then zoom back out to see the bigger picture. If you proactively anticipate questions, arrive at every conversation with answers in hand, and thrive in ambiguity, this high-visibility role will let you leverage your analytical rigor in front of senior AI Labs stakeholders.Key Responsibilities * Drive comprehensive business planning cycles (quarterly/annual), seamlessly translating high-level strategy into actionable operational plans, budgets, and forecasts. * Program manages complex operational initiatives, acting as the connective tissue across cross-functional teams to track milestones and ensure flawless end-to-end execution. * Lead forward-planning and scenario modeling, anticipating future capacity, resourcing, and budget needs before they become urgent realities. * Build scalable reporting infrastructure and models that translate raw operational data into clear, defensible narratives, executive dashboards, and business reviews * Own the financial and operational mechanics, executing headcount plans, maintaining variance tracking, and creating the connective tissue between planning cycles. * Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Recruiting, TPM, Data Management, and CSG to align planning inputs and resolve competing priorities. * Identify gaps and friction in current planning processes and drive resolution end-to-end.Qualifications * 5+ years of experience in business operations, strategy & operations, FP&A,
