Financial Analyst III

At Arrow, Finance is more than managing numbers - it's about enabling smart decisions that drive our business forward. Our Finance teams partner across the organization to provide insights, improve processes, manage risk, and support the investments that help shape the future of technology.

In this role, you'll collaborate with global teams, contribute to strategic initiatives, and make a meaningful impact on a business that connects customers and suppliers around the world. If you enjoy solving complex challenges and turning data into decisions, you'll find opportunities to grow your career at Arrow.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Own annual budget + monthly forecast cadence (Corporate functions)
  • Lead the annual budgeting cycle and monthly forecasting process across multiple Corporate cost centers/functions, including calendar management, templates/models, and submission reviews.
  • Partner with functional leaders, Accounting, and Finance counterparts to align on assumptions, timing, and expected outputs.
  • Drive forecast accuracy by proactively identifying emerging risks/opportunities and updating key drivers (e.g., headcount, project spend, vendor run-rates).

• Deliver executive-ready insights (not just reporting)
  • Produce monthly and quarterly financial packages with clear variance analysis, highlighting key drivers, root causes, and forward-looking implications.
  • Consolidate global results and forecasts into a single view for leadership, ensuring consistency of assumptions and comparability across functions.
  • Turn analysis into action: recommend options, tradeoffs, and decisions (e.g., cost actions, rephasing, prioritization) rather than simply flagging variances.

• Run Corporate allocations with rigor and transparency
  • Maintain and evolve Corporate allocation methodologies that distribute costs to Business Units (e.g., headcount-based, usage-based, revenue-based, or other driver allocations as applicable).
  • Manage allocation complexity across changing org structures, new cost pools, evolving drivers, and timing differences between actuals and forecasts.
  • Execute the annual allocation true-up process, including documentation of methodologies, variance explanations, and stakeholder communication to ensure alignment and auditability.

• Support Executive reviews and leadership decision-making
  • Prepare materials for Executive-level forums (e.g., quarterly business reviews), including storyline development, key messages, and data validation.
  • Present and defend financial results, drivers, and outlook with confidence—ensuring stakeholders understand assumptions, risks, and actions required.

As allowed by applicable law, this role may need to perform late night, weekend, or holiday coverage due to month, quarter and year end requirements.

Key Stakeholders & Ways of Working

You’ll work closely with:

• Corporate functional leaders to align on spend drivers, risks, and decisions
• Finance business partners to ensure consistency of assumptions and governance across functions
• Accounting teams to reconcile actuals, ensure proper cost treatment, and support close/true-up needs
• Senior leadership to communicate performance, outlook, and actionable insights with clarity

What Success Looks Like

• Forecast quality: improved forecast accuracy and fewer late-cycle surprises through driver rigor and proactive risk/opportunity management
• Decision impact: leadership uses your insights to make timely cost and investment decisions (clear recommendations, not just variance tables)
• Allocation integrity: methodologies are understood, consistently applied, well-documented, and true-ups are executed cleanly and on time
• Operational excellence: budgeting/forecasting runs on a predictable cadence with strong stakeholder engagement and minimal rework
• Communication: executive materials are accurate, crisp, and tell a clear story that connects financials to business reality

What We Are Looking For

• Education & experience: Typically requires a 4-year degree and a minimum of 3 years of related experience; or an advanced degree without experience; or equivalent work experience
• FP&A capability: Experience owning budgeting/forecasting cycles and delivering variance analysis with clear drivers and recommendations
• Allocation/complex cost environment exposure: Comfort operating in ambiguous, cross-functional environments with shifting structures and competing priorities
• Analytical strength: Strong problem-solving skills with a track record of process improvement and simplification
• Detail + judgment: High attention to detail while keeping focus on decision-relevant insights
• Technical skills: Advanced Excel required; Oracle ERP, HFM, and/or OneStream preferred; Macros/VBA, Power BI, and/or Power Query a plus
