This could also be an excellent next step for a high-performing Senior Financial Analyst who has demonstrated strong leadership potential and has successfully led automation or process improvement initiatives.

This role will be initially onsite for a training and on-boarding period, transitioning to a hybrid schedule of 3 days onsite / 2 days remote.

• Evaluate and implement AI-enabled tools and other emerging technologies within Finance
• Enhance budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, and profitability analysis
• Partner with business leaders to identify trends, opportunities, and operational improvements
• Lead strategic finance projects from concept through implementation and adoption
• Present financial insights and recommendations to leadership and key stakeholders
• Mentor and develop team members as leadership responsibilities expand

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics, or related field

• Advanced Excel skills and experience working with complex datasets
• Experience leading projects or initiatives through implementation
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Ability to influence change across departments and levels of an organization
• Comfortable operating as both a strategic partner and hands-on contributor

Preferred Experience:

• AI implementation or AI-enabled finance tools
• Power BI, SQL, Python, Power Query, Power Automate, Tableau, or similar technologies
• Large-scale automation or digital transformation initiatives
• Pricing, profitability, or pricing strategy
• ERP systems and complex data environments
• Prior management, mentoring, or team leadership experience
