- Build and continually refine short- and long-range financial plans that support Yelp’s growth and capital allocation decisions.
- Enable agile decision-making through scenario planning and investment modeling.
- Support mergers, acquisitions, and investment initiatives with comprehensive financial analysis.
- Collaborate across Legal, IT, Data Science, and more to modernize financial tools and processes.
