Senior Financial Analyst

What you'll do

• Own financial partnership for the Product & Tech organization, from budget vs. actuals through long-range planning
• Build and run a rebuilt capital allocation process, leveraging AI and modern tooling to move faster than legacy manual processes
• Deliver ROI analysis on customer deals and build-vs-buy / roadmap trade-offs that directly inform tech org decisions
• Establish a recurring operating cadence that gives finance a proactive seat at tech org planning meetings
• Partner closely with P&T VPs as a trusted advisor, not just a reporting function
• Manage headcount and vendor planning for the tech org, including forecasting and budget ownership

What we look for

• 3-5 years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, strategic finance, or a related analytical role
• Demonstrated ability to move beyond reporting to deliver an actual financial recommendation that changed a real decision
• Strong communicator who builds trust with senior stakeholders quickly
• A bias toward action: focused, driven, and able to show concrete follow-through rather than talk

Bonus Points

• Banking, consulting, or Big Four audit analyst background
• Prior exposure to organizational design changes, roadmap changes, or vendor contract renegotiations (e.g., AWS, Snowflake)
• Chief-of-staff or cross-functional planning experience spanning G&A and R&D
• Hands-on use of AI tools to build or improve a finance process

• You must be work authorized in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.
• This is a hybrid in-office position that requires a minimum of 3 days per week onsite in either our San Ramon, CA or Reno, NV office.
