Senior Financial Analyst, Infrastructure

Remote - Americas

About The Role

We're looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join our Infrastructure Finance team, owning the financials of Shopify's infrastructure software space as well as data management behind infrastructure finance generally. You'll partner with R&D, Data, and Product on financial planning, investment decisions, and business cases and help tell that story to senior leaders across Shopify. Beyond software, you'll manage the data and tooling that span the full infrastructure portfolio — hosting, hardware, software, AI — keeping information accurate and available to support forecasting, close, and other reporting and analytical processes. We are constantly striving for efficiency in how we work. Using Shopify's suite of AI and data tools, this role will lead efforts to reduce time to completion for existing workflows and will help us build out the next generation of financial reporting deliverables as we look to provide new insights to decision-makers.

About The Team

Finance’s mission is to help support Shopify’s growth over the long-term and ensure we achieve our objective of making commerce better for everyone. We are trusted advisors and growth partners to the business, always striving to learn, provide insights, solve complex problems and contribute positive impact. Finance plays an important role at the strategic planning table and helps influence the future direction of Shopify.

You’ll Be Doing Things Like

• Partner with R&D and Product to understand Shopify's infra software needs, priorities, and value — and bring financial rigour to their decisions
• Own forecasting and reporting cycles for the software space, including monthly variance analysis and operating reviews
• Build management reporting across all of infrastructure — new views, dashboards, and sites that tell the infra finance investment story
• Manage the data and systems behind that reporting so financial information is current and accurate
• Track cost drivers and unit economics, driving value-oriented spend management
• Surface new insights and build financial models that inform business decisions
• Surface risks and opportunities in the software investment space to decision-makers, clearly and early
• Use SQL, Python, and emerging AI tools to automate manual work and improve how FP&A operates

What You Bring To The Team

• Proven track record of driving significant impact in complex and ambiguous business situations
• R&D finance background working with engineering teams on general FP&A activities
• Strong communication skills–ability to distill complex, technical topics into concise, understandable terms
• Significant experience in financial modeling and strategic business planning
• Strong understanding of SQL and Python, with the ability to write complex queries, perform data extraction and manipulation, and maintain data integrity.
• Genuine enthusiasm for the R&D space, tinkering with new tools, and exploring innovative solutions
• A growth mindset, a builder’s mentality and a proven history of effective execution
• The ability to thrive in a fast-moving, ambiguous work environment and to navigate through change
• Track record of strong performance in data science, management consulting, investment banking, FP&A, or a related field
• Experience in tech, fintech or other SaaS-based business models
• Demonstrated experience transforming or automating FP&A processes

About Shopify

Opportunity is not evenly distributed. Shopify puts independence within reach for anyone with a dream to start a business. We propel entrepreneurs and enterprises to scale the heights of their potential. Since 2006, we’ve grown to over 8,300 employees and generated over $1 trillion in sales for millions of merchants in 175 countries.

This is life-defining work that directly impacts people’s lives as much as it transforms your own. This is putting the power of the few in the hands of the many, is a future with more voices rather than fewer, and is creating more choices instead of an elite option.

About You

Moving at our pace brings a lot of change, complexity, and ambiguity—and a little bit of chaos. Shopifolk thrive on that and are comfortable being uncomfortable. That means Shopify is not the right place for everyone.

Before You Apply, Consider If You Can

• Care deeply about what you do and about making commerce better for everyone
• Excel by seeking professional and personal hypergrowth
• Keep up with an unrelenting pace (the week, not the quarter)
• Be resilient and resourceful in face of ambiguity and thrive on (rather than endure) change
• Bring critical thought and opinion
• Put AI agents and tools to work on the tasks they're built for, and focus on the work only humans can do
• Embrace differences and disagreement to get shit done and move forward
• Work digital-first for your daily work

We may use AI-enabled tools to screen, select, and assess applications. All AI outputs are reviewed and validated by our recruitment team.
