Senior Financial Analyst - Strategic Finance

Senior Financial Analyst – Strategic Finance The Financial Planning & Analysis team is seeking a curious and analytical Senior Financial Analyst to join our Strategic Finance team. This role sits at the intersection of traditional FP&A, Investor Relations, and Data Analytics. Your primary focus will be financial modeling, forecasting, and business partnering, while leveraging data tools to automate reporting and uncover deeper insights.

If you are a finance professional eager to learn and transform data into actionable high‑value insights, this role is for you. What You’ll Do Build dynamic financial models to support strategic initiatives and ad‑hoc projects. Partner cross‑functionally to build out new processes and improve existing ones for monthly and quarterly customer metrics reporting.

Work with the BI team to transition manual Excel reporting into self‑service dashboards (e.g., Looker). Assist with the preparation of materials for quarter‑end close and earnings calls. Act as the “guardian of truth” by validating data consistency between systems (NetSuite, Salesforce, and the Data Warehouse) and investigating variances.

Use large data sets to analyze customer trends, usage‑based revenue patterns, and product adoption to inform financial models. Identify repetitive reporting tasks and automate them, freeing time for higher‑level strategic work. What We’re Looking For Experience: 3–6 years of relevant experience in FP&A, Corporate Finance, or Investment Banking.

Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. Financial Acumen: Strong understanding of the three financial statements, variance analysis, and SaaS/usage‑based business metrics (ARR, NRR, Churn). Modeling Wizardry: Advanced proficiency in Excel (Index/Match, complex nested formulas) and ability to build clean, auditable financial models.

Communication: Ability to distill complex data into clear, concise summaries for senior leadership. Proactivity: A self‑starter who asks “Why?” and “So what?” beyond reporting numbers. Curiosity & Aptitude: A strong willingness to learn technical data skills; comfortable navigating ambiguity and learning new systems.

Preferred Skills & Experience Experience with NetSuite, Adaptive Insights, or Salesforce. Experience with FactSet and AlphaSense. Experience with — or desire to learn — data visualization tools such as Looker, Tableau, or PowerBI; basic knowledge of SQL is a huge plus.

Exposure to Python for data analysis. Experience working at a high‑growth technology company. Work Hours This position requires availability during core business hours.

Location and Travel The position is based in our San Francisco office and follows a hybrid model, allowing employees flexibility to split time between the office and home. Salary The estimated salary range for this position is $114,200 – $137,040. Starting salary may vary based on permissible, non‑discriminatory factors such as experience, skills, qualifications, and location.
