What are the responsibilities and job description for the Director of Events and Community position at DataRails?
DataRails has created a SaaS solution that tackles one of the biggest challenges in finance departments: the overflowing amount of data that, up until now, was managed by an excess of Excel sheets. DataRails consolidates all cross-organizational data and enables finance professionals to follow it, manage it, and derive insights from analysis. Instead of spending time on manual consolidation, DataRails automates the consolidation process and the creation of financial reports. It’s cloud-based, so nothing gets lost, it’s scalable, so almost every feature can be added.
We are led by a team of experienced entrepreneurs with a history of successful outcomes. As the leading FinTech company transforming finance for Excel users who wish to benefit from financial automation, we just announced a $43.5 million new funding round (backed by investors in Uber, Houzz, Monday, and others) bringing the company’s total funding raised to more than $50 million!
