Senior Financial Analyst, Strategic Finance

Overview

This role is for a Senior Analyst to serve as an embedded finance partner, owning a functional area end to end.

The assigned functional area may 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 translate that into analysis leaders can act on.

• Perform vendor and operating expense reviews to identify where leverage exists and where it does not.
• Provide decision support between planning cycles, including business cases and scenario work.
• 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 experience matches the substance of the role).
• Strong financial modeling skills and analytical judgment to validate conclusions.
• Ability to communicate effectively and confidently partner directly with functional leaders.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of ambiguous problems without close management.
• 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 these capabilities if needed).
• Meaningful overlap with Pacific time (team is West Coast).
• Open to occasional travel for team and company onsite events.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with AI tools, BI tools, SQL, or planning systems.
