Senior Financial Systems Analyst

Senior Financial Systems Analyst

As a Senior Financial Systems Analyst, you will take ownership of the accuracy and completeness of sales transaction data used across Finance and Sales. Working within FP&A and reporting to the Director of FP&A, you'll establish consistent controls and reconciliation routines that verify data is moving accurately from transaction platforms into business intelligence and financial reporting systems.

This role is equal parts financial detective and process owner. You'll monitor data movement, identify discrepancies quickly, determine where breakdowns are occurring, and partner with IT to make sure issues are addressed through resolution. Your work will give Finance and business leaders greater confidence that the information behind their reporting is complete, timely, and reliable.

The position is especially important as the organization continues modernizing its technology environment. With system migrations, new integrations, automation initiatives, and a future data warehouse on the roadmap, you'll help establish the controls and operating discipline needed to maintain reliable financial data as the business scales.

Financial Systems & FP&A Support
