Job description

Are you a Senior Finance Data Analyst who sees opportunities where others see manual work?

Do you enjoy turning business questions into practical analytics, automation and AI-enabled solutions? This is an opportunity to shape a new role at the intersection of Finance, data and technology. Finance is building stronger data foundations and investing in modern planning, reporting and analytics capabilities.

Your mission is to convert those foundations into practical solutions that reduce manual work, accelerate insight and help Finance teams make better decisions. You will help shape a new role and its initial portfolio. You will work with real Finance challenges, growing data foundations and modern technology options, while keeping business value, security, governance and sustainable adoption at the centre.

St1 is an energy transition company working to lead the production and sale of CO₂-aware energy across Finland, Sweden, Norway and the UK. We are driving major transition projects at our Gothenburg refinery and in other parts of the business, and we run about 1,250 retail stations in the Nordics. Together, we are more than 1,000 curious, committed and caring people here to change the game. Ready to challenge the ordinary with us?

How you’ll help drive the change

Joining St1, you will be part of running and developing a profitable business that invests in long-term energy solutions. As Senior Finance Data Analyst, you will own the Finance automation and analytics opportunity pipeline and drive selected use cases from problem definition through piloting, implementation, adoption and benefit tracking.

You will select the most suitable approach for each business need, whether that means analytics, business intelligence, workflow automation, robotic process automation, machine learning, large language models or other emerging capabilities. You will work closely with Finance process owners, Business Control, the Finance Data Steward and Business Technology / Data & Analytics specialists.

Your daily impact

• Identify repetitive, manual and insight-intensive Finance activities where automation, AI or analytics can create meaningful value.
• Maintain a portfolio of Finance automation, analytics and AI use cases based on business value, feasibility, data readiness and control requirements.
• Develop or coordinate practical solutions such as analyses, dashboards, workflow automations, forecasting support, anomaly detection and AI-assisted reporting.
• Lead proofs of concept and pilots, evaluate results and help successful solutions move into secure, maintainable production use.
• Drive adoption by supporting users, improving ways of working and embedding solutions into recurring Finance processes.
• Act as a bridge between Finance and technology teams, bringing together Finance experts, Data & Analytics specialists, automation teams and Business Technology to turn business challenges into practical, scalable solutions.
• Define baselines, track benefits and communicate released capacity, shorter cycle times, adoption, quality and control improvements.
• Build Finance capability by sharing practices, supporting experimentation and helping colleagues use modern technology responsibly and effectively.

What you bring to the team

We are looking for a colleague with the drive to challenge, collaborate and grow. To thrive in this role, you likely have:

• A relevant university degree or equivalent capability gained through experience in Finance, business analytics, information systems, engineering or a related field.
• Relevant experience in Finance, business control, FP&A, analytics, automation, digital transformation or technology-enabled process development.
• A solid understanding of Finance processes, data and controls, with the ability to identify where technology can improve outcomes.
• Hands‑on experience in at least some of the following areas: Power BI, SQL, Python, Power Platform, RPA, modern data platforms (Databricks or similar), AI / LLM solutions or machine‑learning applications.
• A track record of moving ideas beyond analysis into practical solutions, improved processes or production use.
• Strong stakeholder and communication skills, including the ability to translate between Finance needs and technical specialists.
• Fluency in English and the ability to work effectively in a Nordic, cross‑functional environment. Finnish or Swedish language skills are considered an advantage.

It’s an extra spark if you also:

• Have experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365, enterprise performance management solutions or Azure-based data and AI services.
• Have built business cases, benefit‑tracking models or automation portfolios.
• Bring experience in change management, user adoption or capability building within Finance.
