How you'll make an impact:

We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to be a pivotal player in our core financial planning and analysis (FP&A) team. This isn't just a reporting role; you'll be part of the small, high-impact team that drives our budget and forecasting processes.

Your primary focus will be on model integrity.

Your expertise will be key to generating meaningful, actionable insights for leadership.

What You'll Do:
  • Financial Modeling: You will own the creation and maintenance of robust financial models to assess scenarios, risks, and opportunities that support strategic decision-making. A key part of your role is refining our existing models with a continuous improvement mindset.
  • Actionable Insights: Go beyond the numbers to deliver data-backed insights to leadership, working across the full P&L to drive faster, better decisions.
  • Reporting & Analysis: Produce timely, clear, and accurate reporting on business performance, communicating your findings and recommending responses.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong, cross-functional relationships to demonstrate the value of finance partnership across the organization.
  • Systems Support: Contribute to our financial systems transformation, including our migration from Adaptive to Anaplan.
What you'll bring
  • 3-5 years of relevant experience in a finance or FP&A role.
  • A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
  • Excellent financial modeling and forecasting skills—this is the core of the role.
  • Superior analytical and problem-solving skills, with demonstrated intellectual and analytical rigor.
  • The ability to take data and create a story that resonates with audiences and drives action.
  • Anaplan experience is a big plus
