Work with ERP and financial data across multiple sources to improve reporting accuracy and visibility. Support ad hoc analysis and strategic initiatives as the organization continues to scale. What We're Looking For Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. Approximately 3–7+ years of progressive FP&A, corporate finance, or financial analysis experience.

Strong communication and presentation skills with the ability to explain financial results to both Finance and non-finance stakeholders. High degree of attention to detail, ownership, and accountability. Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic, and evolving environment. Interest in joining an organization where the position can continue to evolve and expand over the next several years. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to take meaningful ownership within a growing Finance organization rather than simply producing reports. The Senior Financial Analyst will have direct exposure to Finance and business leadership and will play an important role in strengthening OpEx planning, cost-center accountability, forecasting and overall P&L visibility. The company is looking for someone who wants to grow with the organization long term, take ownership of their area and continue expanding their responsibilities as the business evolves.
