Job description

We are looking for an up & coming Financial Analyst who loves multi-tasking, business partnering, analyzing, and who wants a steady long-term career path within a large, reputable, and well-established public company with global operations. Working closely with a stable and well-tenured global finance team, with great mentors to learn from. Directly supporting the global IT function.

Who- the Company:

Our client is a high-profile global company with operations in over 50 countries and over 10,000 employees. They have a reputation for hiring top talent and for providing their employees with interesting and challenging work in a professional environment. Swim Recruiting has been engaged to aid with this important search.

What- the Opportunity:

On behalf of our client, SWIM is looking a new Financial Analyst, IT Function. This is a newly created role due to growth and increasing business needs. This is a varied junior to intermediate level role involving invoicing, budgeting support, forecasting support, variance analysis, P&L analysis, preparing routine and ad hoc reports for IT leadership, and cost calculations/allocations (analyzing things like licenses, subscriptions, vendor agreements, equipment, etc.)

The Financial Analyst will report into the Manager FP&A and will interact with colleagues in finance (FP&A, corporate development, accounting, etc.) and in IT. The FA will use various systems and tools including Excel, Power BI, and an ERP. There is good opportunity for long-term career growth with this company over the years! SWIM will provide qualified and interested candidates with a full job description.

Who- the Candidate:

Candidates will have 1 to 3 years of relevant work experience in junior to intermediate level roles involving analytical work. Ideally candidates will have worked for a large, global, public company (but not required for a quick learner). Experience in the tech sector and supporting an IT dept/function is highly preferred but, if not, then a personal interest in/passion for the technology space is also great! Candidates don’t need to be trained accountants but need to have an understanding of accounting terminology, debits & credits, the P&L, and how accounting fits in with FP&A.

Qualified candidates will be clear, effective, and confident communicators who can collaborate closely with finance and non-finance colleagues. Strong technical and systems skills are required, particularly within Excel (at a minimum, pivot tables and look-ups, and preferably Power Query and macros). Hands-on experience using Power BI is a significant asset. Experience using an ERP is beneficial. Relevant post-secondary education is required for this role- such as a University degree in finance, commerce, business, or accounting. Serious plans to pursue CFA designation in future is preferred and will be supported by the employer.

Where:

Working from the downtown Vancouver office, very accessible by rapid transit. Full-time in-office during the first month or so of training and onboarding. After that, the Financial Analyst can choose to work from home 1 or 2 days a week (i.e. 3 mandatory in-office days per week).

How Much:

Robust total compensation package- base salary commensurate with education, relevant work experience, and analytical skills, in the range of $64,000 to $75,000 plus a performance-based bonus, relevant and pre-approved professional development support (i.e. for CFA level 1 exam), an RRSP match, strong health benefits, and other employee perks. Please discuss with SWIM.
