Financial Analyst

We are conducting a confidential search on behalf of a globally recognized leader.

The Financial Analyst is a high-visibility role that sits at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations. You will partner directly with senior leadership to drive data-driven decision-making, build financial models that shape how the business performs, and play an active role in planning and forecasting. This is a role for someone who wants to do meaningful work — not just report numbers but help move them.

Why You'll Love This Role:

• High-impact work: your models and dashboards will directly influence business strategy and leadership decisions
• Cross-functional exposure: you'll collaborate with operations, sales, and executive leadership — not just stay in the finance lane
• Growth environment: a global company with the resources of a large organization and the agility of a specialized business unit
• Stability + benefits: comprehensive benefits effective on day one, 401(k) with employer match, tuition reimbursement, and more

What You'll Do:

• Develop and maintain financial models and dashboards that provide real-time transparency on program performance
• Analyze historical data by category to surface insights and actionable recommendations for leadership
• Support business case calculations for new and ongoing campaigns, including bid management and major customer financial reviews
• Prepare and present financial reports and presentations for senior management with clarity and impact
• Critically evaluate business case assumptions and proposals — push back when needed and offer solutions when applicable
• Partner cross-functionally with operations, sales, and program teams to build a complete financial picture
• Own annual operating planning and quarterly forecasting support
• Use scenario analysis to model outcomes and guide decisions under uncertainty
• Analyze financial impacts across income and cash flow statements
• Help key stakeholders understand and forecast spending with greater confidence
• Ensure compliance with internal financial policies and guidelines

Position Requirements:

• Bachelors degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a related field
• 2+ years of directly applicable financial analysis experience
• Advanced Excel skills — ability to build and maintain financial models independently, not just use templates
• Strong grasp of financial accounting and/or controlling with the ability to translate business needs into solutions
• Sharp analytical and problem-solving skills with exceptional attention to detail
• Strong communicator — comfortable presenting to leadership and collaborating across departments
• Self-starter mentality with the ability to manage competing priorities
• Experience with SAP (FI/CO modules) is a strong plus
