Evaluate existential threats and market opportunities through robust scenario analyses to inform executive decision-making. Identify and evaluate strategic partnership opportunities that align with Asana’s long-term vision. Lead bespoke, non-BAU analyses for high-priority initiatives that sit outside traditional functional homes.

Exceptional leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and align diverse stakeholders at all levels. Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities simultaneously. Experience in a B2B SaaS company known for innovative product strategy. Experience navigating complex M&A or strategic partnership evaluations. Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Economics, or a related quantitative field. MBA is a plus.
