Job summary

Alteryx is seeking a hands-on Manager of Finance Analytics Engineering & Automation to turn Finance requirements into trusted data products and automated workflows. The role collaborates with FP&A, Finance Data & Analytics, and Data Engineering to improve data reliability, scalability, and decision support.

You will own the finance analytics stack across Snowflake and SQL, build reusable consumption layers, and lead automation initiatives using Alteryx, Python, and APIs.

Qualifications

• 6+ years in FP&A, finance analytics, analytics engineering, financial data, automation, or a related technical Finance role.
• Strong Finance or FP&A domain knowledge and ability to translate business definitions, planning processes, reporting, and controls into technical requirements.
• Strong hands‑on SQL skills and experience working in Snowflake or a comparable cloud data platform, including data modeling, lineage analysis, validation, troubleshooting, and building reporting- or consumption-ready datasets.
• Demonstrated ability to move from an ambiguous Finance question to a trustworthy data answer by interrogating source data, challenging assumptions, and validating results.
• Experience building or supporting analytical consumption layers, semantic or reporting‑ready datasets, reusable views, or similar Finance‑facing data products.
• Experience building automated analytical workflows using tools such as Alteryx, Python, dbt, APIs, or comparable platforms. Deep Alteryx expertise is not required.
• Working knowledge of production controls, testing, monitoring, documentation, change management, and root‑cause analysis.
• Prior people management or strong technical‑lead experience, with the ability to coach hands‑on practitioners while also setting technical direction.

Responsibilities

• Own Finance analytics engineering and automation across Snowflake, SQL, workflow automation, controls, integrations, and downstream Finance consumption.
• Translate Finance requirements and approved business definitions into scalable technical solutions, working with Finance Data & Analytics on product priorities and with Data Engineering on enterprise pipelines and platform standards.
• Build and maintain Finance-ready consumption views, analytical models, reconciliations, and reusable datasets that make governed enterprise data easier for FP&A and Finance users to consume without unnecessary duplication.
• Perform hands-on SQL analysis, lineage tracing, impact assessment, and root-cause investigation across Finance data flows, especially when definitions, sources, joins, or upstream systems change.
• Establish and automate technical controls for critical Finance processes, including reconciliations, data-quality checks, regression tests, monitoring, release validation, and recovery procedures.
• Lead Finance automation and workflow engineering, setting standards for maintainability, production support, documentation, ownership, and reusable patterns across tools such as Alteryx, Python, APIs, or comparable platforms.
• Serve as a primary Finance technical partner to Data Engineering, helping separate Finance-owned analytical logic from deeper platform engineering while ensuring clean handoffs and clear ownership.
• Support the technical architecture and productionization of AI-assisted Finance workflows and analytical agents, with emphasis on governed sources, deterministic execution where needed, traceability, testing, and safe failure.
• Manage and develop Finance automation engineering capacity, including coaching team members, strengthening backup coverage, and building durable technical capability rather than key-person dependency.
• Partner across FP&A, Accounting, RevOps, Product, IT, and other teams to deliver cross-system solutions that are practical for Finance users and sustainable in production.
