• Own zero-to-one and jump ball work — high-priority initiatives that don't yet have a logical internal owner. • Drive them from framing through final recommendation or clean handoff. This means doing the IC work yourself: writing the memo, building the model, running the analysis. • Run the FinOps operating cadence — own the Finance Leadership Team meeting end-to-end (agenda, prep, accountability), design and run leadership onsites and All Hands, and manage goal tracking across the org, surfacing risks before they become problems. • Support the CFO's external customer relationships — both curated CFO community events and the one-on-one engagements that matter most to ServiceTitan's most strategic customers. • Own the logistics, prep, and follow-up that makes those touchpoints consistently high-quality. Over time, develop your own relationships in that network. • Be the person the CFO defaults to when something important needs to move fast and has no obvious owner.
