Senior Financial Analyst

Senior Financial Analyst for Corporate FP&A

Capitol Broadcasting Company is seeking a full-time Senior Financial Analyst for Corporate FP&A. The Senior Financial Analyst plays a critical role in supporting the financial planning, analysis, and reporting functions for Corporate FP&A - including monthly close, consolidated reporting, forecast and budget cycles, and the operating model that supports them. This individual serves as a key partner across the Corporate FP&A team and BU finance leaders, providing reliable cycle support, clear and accurate reporting, and the disciplined, repeatable process behind both recurring deliverables and the broader plan.

The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and process skills and the ability to run recurring cycles with precision. This role requires a proactive, self-motivated individual who can work independently as well as collaboratively to support the VP Finance, the Corporate FP&A team, and the CFO. A builder at heart, this person reaches for AI first - using tools like Claude to automate recurring analysis, accelerate modeling, and build documented, scalable systems that eliminate manual work and elevate the entire Corporate FP&A function's capacity.

• Prototype and deploy AI-assisted automations across the close, forecast, and budget cycles, turning manual, repetitive work into documented, repeatable systems
