Financial Modeling & Analytical Tools

  • Build and maintain sophisticated financial models in Excel, leveraging Power Query for robust, scalable data preparation.

  • Evaluate and implement new modeling tools or capabilities as business needs evolve.

Technology Support & Enablement

  • Serve as the primary technology resource for the Finance team - troubleshooting issues, answering questions, and reducing friction with systems and tools.
  • Collaborate with IT to ensure data availability and reliability that meet key business needs in a timely manner.
  • Develop training materials and deliver enablement sessions to improve team-wide data literacy and tool proficiency.
  • Act as an advocate for data-driven decision-making across the organization, helping non-finance leaders understand and confidently use the analytics tools and reports available to them.
  • Own the Finance technology roadmap, tracking current system capabilities, identifying gaps, and making recommendations for enhancements, replacements, and efficiency gains.

AI Integration & Innovation

  • Lead the Finance function’s AI adoption strategy - identifying, prioritizing, and piloting high-impact AI use cases.
  • Partner with IT and other stakeholders to implement and scale AI solutions in a governed, responsible manner.
  • Champion a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement, keeping the Finance team informed of emerging AI capabilities relevant to the function.

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Information Systems, Data Analytics, or a related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in a finance, FP&A, or finance technology role with significant hands-on involvement in data and analytics.
  • Demonstrated expertise with Power BI, including data modeling, DAX, and report/dashboard development.
  • Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Power Query for financial modeling and data transformation.
  • Working proficiency in Python for data analysis and automation (pandas, numpy, and similar libraries).
  • Solid understanding of data warehouse concepts, dimensional modeling, and SQL querying.
  • Familiarity with cloud data platforms.
  • Hands-on experience with AI/ML tools or LLM-based applications in a business context.
  • Microsoft Power Platform experience (Power Automate, Power Apps).
  • Proficient in financial analysis, forecasting, and financial modeling.

  • Problem Solving - Diagnoses complex, ambiguous data and systems issues and drives them to resolution.
  • Influence & Communication - Shapes technology decisions and drives adoption without direct authority over all stakeholders.
  • Innovation Mindset - Proactively identifies opportunities to leverage technology to improve efficiency and decision quality.
  • Business Acumen & Service - Strong business acumen paired with a customer-service mindset.
  • Adaptability - Comfortable with change and quick to adjust as priorities shift.
  • Flexibility - Understanding that not everything requires a robust tech solution and when it is best to employ a quick fix or non-technical alternative.
  • Organization & Execution - Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to work effectively in a fast-paced environment and consistently meet deadlines.
