Who We Are Looking For:

We are seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to build the models and analysis behind our operating
and capital decisions. You will own advanced financial models, run scenario and sensitivity
analysis on the decisions that matter most, and produce the management reporting leadership
uses to steer the business.

The ideal candidate is an exceptional modeler who can also explain the answer — someone who
gets from raw operating data to a clear recommendation without waiting to be told how. Key Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain advanced financial models supporting operating plans, capital projects,
  and strategic decisions.
• Run scenario and sensitivity analysis to quantify risk and frame tradeoffs for leadership.
• Own operating forecasts for assigned areas of the business, working directly with the leaders accountable for them.
• Produce recurring management reporting, including variance analysis with insight into drivers, not just deltas. 
• Analyze unit economics, capital project returns, and cost structures to support pricing and investment decisions. 
• Build and maintain dashboards and reporting that make performance visible without manual assembly. 
• Support board, investor, and lender reporting with analysis and supporting schedules. 
• Partner with Accounting to ensure reporting ties to the ledger and that definitions stay consistent.
• Improve the analytical toolkit — data sources, model architecture, and reporting automation.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, or
  corporate development.
• Expert-level financial modeling; demonstrated experience building models from scratch.
• Strong understanding of accounting fundamentals and the mechanics of the three statements.
• Experience with scenario analysis and capital project evaluation (NPV, IRR, payback).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to present complex analysis simply. 
• Experience in manufacturing, industrial, mining, energy, or another capital-intensive industry preferred.
• Self-starter comfortable with incomplete data and shifting priorities.

What We Offer

This pay range reflects best estimate for the total cash compensation which includes salary +
discretionary bonus for this role. Total package may vary based on experience and qualifications.

• Healthcare: 100% Medical, dental, and vision coverage for employee
