Senior Analyst - Strategic Finance & Analytics

Overview

The organization is seeking a Senior Analyst, Strategic Finance & Analytics to turn financial and operational data into the insight leadership uses to guide decisions across a scaling business.

This role combines planning, performance reporting, and decision support rather than focusing on a single narrow function. You will be expected to structure problems with incomplete information, build the reporting and models leaders rely on, and deliver recommendations supported by data.

Responsibilities

Reporting and Insights

• Build and maintain recurring management reporting across P&L, cash, headcount, and business KPIs, with an emphasis on insight—not just output
• Deliver variance analysis that explains why performance changed, what it means, and what should happen next
• Translate complex financial and operational data into clear narratives for leadership reviews, board packs, and investor reporting
• Design and maintain BI dashboards (Tableau, Power BI, Looker, or similar) to provide real-time, self-serve visibility into performance

Planning and Forecasting

• Support annual budget, rolling forecasts, and long-range planning cycles with rigorous, well-structured models
• Build and maintain dynamic financial models across the compute stack—GPUs, storage, networking, data centers, and power—alongside revenue, cost, and headcount
• Track actuals against plan and use data patterns and trends to flag risks and opportunities before they become surprises
• Consolidate inputs from business partners into clean, reconciled, audit-ready submissions

Decision Support and Strategic Analysis

• Produce decision-ready analysis for business cases, pricing, commercial deals, and investment decisions
• Run scenario and sensitivity modeling on capacity, utilization, and capital deployment to stress-test assumptions
• Develop unit-economics views across capacity, utilization, consumption revenue, and cost to serve
• Respond to ad hoc leadership questions quickly with a clear point of view supported by data

AI, BI and Automation

• Pull, reconcile, and structure data from ERP, billing, planning, and operational systems into reliable, analysis-ready datasets
• Apply AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to accelerate data preparation, document review, drafting, and visualization
• Automate recurring reporting and analysis workflows so time is spent on judgment and insight rather than manual production
• Partner with Finance BI and Systems teams to improve data quality, metric definitions, and self-service reporting infrastructure
• Maintain a builder’s mindset for modern finance tooling; evaluate and adopt new AI/BI capabilities as they emerge

Requirements

• 4–7 years of experience across strategic finance, FP&A, investment banking, consulting, private equity or growth equity, or a finance operating role at a high-growth technology company; additional experience considered at the Senior Analyst level
• Strong financial modeling and Excel skills, with a solid understanding of financial statements
• Experience using AI tools as a force multiplier in analysis and reporting, with the ability to self-serve your own workflows rather than waiting on others for data
• Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to present analysis as a simple, compelling narrative for non-finance audiences
• Comfort structuring ambiguous problems and working through incomplete information under tight timelines
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience; a quantitative or technical degree is a plus

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience partnering closely with leadership and delivering executive-ready materials early in one’s career
• Experience building automated reporting and analytics workflows

Compensation & Benefits

• Compensation includes base salary with bonus, LTIP, and benefits on top
• Salary ranges are set according to the role, level, and location

Location

• Headquarters: Bellevue, Washington
• Preference for candidates based in the Seattle/Bellevue area
• Open to candidates located elsewhere in the US who can travel to Bellevue regularly in line with business needs and key milestones
