Financial Analyst

GENERAL ACCOUNTABILITY

The Finance Rotation Program is Compass Datacenters' entry point for early-career finance talent. Over the course of the program you will complete a series of 6- to 12-month assignments across the Finance organization, building a working knowledge of how capital, cost, and cash move through a data center development and operating business. In each rotation you will be expected to: Deliver accurate, well-supported analysis on schedule, under the direction of the rotation lead you are assigned to Learn a new function, its systems, and its stakeholders quickly enough to be producing usable work within your first 30 days Translate operational and project realities into financial terms for the function you are supporting Use approved AI tools to accelerate research, analysis, and recurring reporting, and verify output against source data before it is circulated Document your work so the next person can pick it up without a verbal handoff Build working relationships across Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, and Delivery Participate in structured coaching, mentoring, and career development throughout the program

PROGRAM STRUCTURE

Your first rotation: Operations Finance, supporting the build-out of a new function and team within Finance. You will be helping stand something up rather than inheriting a steady-state process. Rotations: six to twelve months each, drawn from Operations Finance, Financial Planning & Analysis, Capital Markets, Treasury, Capital Projects Finance, and Supply Chain Finance How rotations are assigned: by business need and your development plan. You will not select your own rotations, and you will know your next assignment well in advance. How the program ends: the program concludes with a permanent placement into one of the functional groups listed above Reporting and support: you will report to the functional lead of the group you are working in, and that lead is responsible for your quarterly performance review. Finance leadership will collectively decide on rotations and duration. Team: this is currently a single seat, with the intent of growing it into a larger pooled analyst team. You would be the first person through the program and will help shape how it runs. Professional certification: Compass supports CPA, CFA, and CMA exam costs and annual dues Work arrangement: this is a fully in-office role. Your office location follows your work authorization — Dallas, TX for candidates authorized to work in the United States, and Toronto, ON for candidates authorized to work in Canada. Travel: 0 to 5% to Compass campuses and project sites

KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS

Comfortable being the new person: you restart the learning curve every six to twelve months, and the discomfort of not yet knowing has to be tolerable Sound judgment about when a number needs to be checked against source, and the confidence to elevate rather than guess. This applies equally to your own work and to anything an AI tool produces Solid grounding in accounting and financial reporting principles and practices Strong conceptual and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail that survives a deadline Able to build trust quickly with people who did not choose you and who will hand you off in a few months Clear, concise written communication: able to produce a decision-ready summary, not only a spreadsheet A steward mindset. At Compass we say steward rather than owner: you are accountable for the outcome, and for leaving the work better documented than you found it Able to manage multiple concurrent deliverables under deadline pressure #J-18808-Ljbffr Compass Datacenters
