So, if you're ready to go deep, working on an exciting set of challenges and if you've got the finance skills, experience, and passion - read on and get in touch!

What You'll Do

• Financial planning and analysis: work closely with the finance organization and with regional business leaders to develop financial forecasts and operational goals, apply business judgment and financial insights to help with decision making;
• Sophisticated financial modeling: build models from scratch, improve existing models, and break sophisticated models down into components that consolidate;
• Think strategically and implement: the models we build aid in decision making and strategy - we operationalize our insights and support everyday execution;
• Monthly close: analyze variances between actuals, forecast, and plan - use insights to iterate on forecasts and build/discuss potential action plans with cross-functional customers;
• Operational improvement: help improve our planning processes and ensure finance standard methodologies spread through the organization. Collaborate with Accounting to provide input on management reporting needs and better understand our actuals;
• Business optimization: support initiatives that optimize our global P&L. Partner with the Senior Finance Management to provide financial insights and assess the company's overall progress towards its strategic objectives;

• BS/BA in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Engineering, or similar;
• 3+ years in Banking, Corporate finance or operational FP&A role at either a high-growth company or a large, well-established organization;
• Elite Excel/Google Sheet skills: Standard methodologies are second-nature, your models are efficient, scalable and intuitive;
• Excellent communication and people skills: numbers are key, but a business is built with people;
• Self-starter: take initiative, be dedicated, set and drive toward goals;
• Systems: proven understanding of enterprise-level financial planning systems;
• Attention to detail: consistent with swift and high quality execution. We do things quickly, and we need to do them well. Striking that balance can be daring and this should be a strength of yours.
