Senior Corporate FP&A Analyst – Business Partnering

Troy, MI

About Slate: Slate is a new company exploring innovation in the electric vehicle space. As we grow, we are building a forward-thinking finance organization powered by real-time data, automated planning tools, and scalable processes.

Who we are looking for: Slate is seeking a proactive and relationship-oriented Senior Corporate FP&A Analyst to serve as a key business partner to Slate’s SG&A functions. In this role, you will own forecast updates in partnership with department leaders, help them interpret and manage their budgets, and provide meaningful financial insights that guide smart decision-making.

The ideal candidate is both financially and operationally savvy—comfortable moving between the details of a cost center forecast and a strategic conversation about headcount, vendor spend, or departmental tradeoffs. You'll be part of a collaborative Corporate FP&A team that supports leadership across the company and contributes to a strong planning and performance culture.

What you get to do:

• Partner with SG&A department leaders to own and maintain functional forecasts, budgets, and monthly updates.
• Develop and maintain clear reporting on committed vs. uncommitted spend to support proactive financial management.
• Help business partners understand their performance against budget, including drivers of variance, key risks, and opportunities.
• Serve as the finance lead for department-level planning, including headcount and operating expenses.
• Support departmental leaders in making financially informed decisions that align with corporate goals.
• Contribute to company-wide financial processes such as annual planning, monthly forecast cycles, and close support.
• Collaborate with the broader FP&A team to improve tools, processes, and financial visibility across the organization.
• Support ongoing adoption and use of planning tools such as Workday Adaptive Planning, ensuring accuracy and consistency of SG&A data.

What you bring to the team: We’re looking for someone with:

• 4+ years of experience in FP&A or finance business partnering roles.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting or Finance, MBA preferred.
• Strong understanding of SG&A functions and the role finance plays in supporting operational decision-making.
• Experience supporting department-level forecasting, budgeting, and headcount planning.
• Proven ability to translate financial data into clear, actionable insights for non-finance stakeholders.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; ability to build trusted relationships with business partners.
• Experience with Workday Adaptive Planning strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite) and a solid grasp of forecasting workflows.
• Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple stakeholders and priorities.
