Senior Financial Analyst, Strategic Finance

Overview

This role is for a Senior Analyst to serve as an embedded finance partner for a functional area end to end. You will partner directly with business leaders, understand their operating model, build and own the models that drive headcount and spend decisions, and run a recurring monthly business rhythm.

The functional area you support will be determined based on strengths and business needs (potential areas include Support, G&A, or go-to-market). Prior experience in a specific function is not required—success depends on the ability to learn how the business operates and produce analysis that leaders can act on.

Responsibilities

• Own the operating and capacity model for your assigned area, including how headcount and spend scale with business drivers.
• Manage forecasting, budgeting, and long-range planning for supported functions, including variance narratives.
• Lead monthly business reviews with functional leaders, covering what happened, why, and implications for the remainder of the year.
• Conduct vendor and operating expense reviews, identifying where leverage exists and where it does not.
• Provide decision support throughout the quarter, including business cases, scenario analysis, and ad-hoc analytical requests.
• Perform other duties as needed.

Requirements

• Approximately 2 to 5 years in FP&A, business finance, consulting, banking, or a comparable analytical role; years are flexible if the substance is there.
• Strong financial modeling skills and analytical judgment to identify when answers are incorrect.
• Ability to communicate effectively with functional leaders and hold your own in executive-level conversations.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of ambiguous work without being closely managed.
• A working style that emphasizes automating repeatable parts of the job.
  • Familiarity with AI tools, BI tools, SQL, or planning systems is a plus (support will be provided to build tools if you have the instinct but not the specific experience).
• Team is on the West Coast; meaningful overlap with Pacific time is required.
• Open to occasional travel for team and company onsite visits.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience building or improving finance automation using AI/BI/SQL/planning systems.

Compensation & Benefits

• Starting pay depends on location, market demands, experience, job-related knowledge, and skills.
• Benefits include medical, dental, vision, 401(k) plan, life insurance coverage, and PTO.
• Unlimited PTO.
• For roles based in California, Colorado, Maryland, New Jersey, or Washington: base salary hiring range is $110,000 to $140,000 per year plus an equity grant.
• For roles based in New York: base salary hiring range is $110,000 to $140,000 per year plus an equity grant.
