Corporate FP&A Senior Analyst
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instructions say: use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should map content to those headings where appropriate. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. We need to preserve substantive info.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from "What We Are Looking For" describing role). Responsibilities (list of duties). Requirements (maybe Required Qualifications). Qualifications (maybe Desirable Qualifications). Skills (maybe combine). Benefits (maybe mention annual bonus, equity compensation, benefits). Pay (salary ranges). Schedule (in-office expectation). Also maybe "About the company" from Who We Are could be About the role? But "About the role" is about the role, not company. Could use "About the role" for description of role and mission? The "Who We Are" is about Aurora mission; could be placed under "About the role"? Might be okay.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual salary ranges, so Pay section is valid. Schedule: we have in-office expectation 3 days per week up to 5 days. So Schedule section valid. Benefits: mention annual bonus, equity compensation, benefits. So Benefits section valid.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities list as ul. Required qualifications as ul? Probably yes. Desirable qualifications as ul. Benefits as ul.
We need
for prose.
We must not include duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Remove boilerplate like "Aurora considers candidates without regard..." that's EEO; remove. Also remove "If you need assistance..." etc. Remove "Our Careers page provides insight..." maybe not needed? It's somewhat generic but maybe keep? It's not boilerplate? It's about working at Aurora; could be part of Working at Aurora section but we don't have a heading for that; maybe we can incorporate into About the role or Benefits? Probably better to omit as it's generic. Keep substantive: "We operate with integrity, set outrageous goals, and build a culture where we win together — all without any jerks." That's culture; maybe part of About the role? Could be in a
.
We need to preserve all substantive info; not invent.

For the latest news from Aurora, visit aurora.tech or follow us on LinkedIn.
What We Are Looking For: Aurora's Finance Center of Excellence (COE) functions as an internal strategic advisory team.

As a Corporate FP&A Senior Analyst, a high-impact individual contributor role, you will directly support Aurora's company-wide financial planning and reporting processes — partnering with functional executive leaders across the organization to build budgets, manage capital allocation, and deliver key analytical deliverables for C-suite and Board-level decisions.

- Prepare comprehensive variance analysis (Actuals vs. Plan), trend reports, and operational insight packages for executive leadership during monthly and quarterly close cycles;
- Support the preparation of quarterly Board of Directors presentations, executive financial decks, and quarterly earnings support materials;
- Establish, monitor, and refine company-wide corporate financial KPIs to identify efficiency opportunities and optimize operating leverage;
- Present corporate financial performance, variance drivers, and capital allocation recommendations to Finance and operational leadership;
- Review FP&A SOPs, financial governance workflows, and budgeting systems to implement scalable best practices across the organization;
- Drive system automation, data integrity, and model integration across corporate FP&A planning platforms (e.g., Pigment) and accounting systems (e.g., NetSuite);
- As a member of the Finance COE, flex across high-impact concurrent projects and strategic finance workstreams as corporate priorities evolve.
Required Qualifications:
- 5+ years of relevant experience in Corporate FP&A, Strategic Finance, or Investment Banking/Corporate Finance at a public or high-growth company; public company experience with quarterly reporting cycles required;
- Degree in Finance or a related quantitative field such as Business, Economics, Math, or Statistics;
- Strong proficiency in corporate budgeting, 3-statement financial modeling, variance analysis, and accounting consolidation principles;
- Proven track record of partnering with cross-functional executive stakeholders to manage budgets and streamline planning workflows;
- Ability to pivot seamlessly between granular operational inputs and macro executive messaging;
- Hands-on experience with modern financial planning software (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive) and ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite);
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with demonstrated experience building executive presentation decks;
- Strong analytical capability and rigorous attention to detail;
- Comfort operating within a Center of Excellence model, leading multiple projects across cross-functional priorities.
Desirable Qualifications:
- Hands-on experience with SQL and major BI visualization platforms (e.g., Tableau, Power BI, Looker) strongly preferred;
- CPA, CFA, or MBA preferred;
- Prior industry experience in autonomous technology, logistics, mobility, automotive, or high-tech manufacturing;

Pay: For roles based in San Francisco, CA and Mountain View, CA: The salary range for this position is $115,000 - $184,000 per year. For roles based in Pittsburgh, PA: The salary range for this position is $104,000 - $166,000 per year. Aurora’s pay ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, the successful candidate’s starting base pay will be determined based on factors including job-related skills, experience, qualifications, relevant education or training, and market conditions. These ranges may be modified in the future.
Benefits: The successful candidate will also be eligible for an annual bonus, equity compensation, and benefits.
Schedule/Working at Aurora: We believe in-person work increases collaboration, empathy, and our ability to lead effectively. As a result, Aurorans are expected to work from the office at least 3 days per week, with some roles requiring more frequent in-office presence, up to 5 days per week, based on operational needs.
Also maybe include culture: "We operate with integrity, set outrageous goals, and build a culture where we win together — all without any jerks." Could be part of About the role or a separate section? Not in allowed headings; maybe incorporate into About the role paragraph.
We must not include sections like "Our commitment to safety", "Our commitment to inclusion" because they are boilerplate EEO? Actually they are substantive but not in allowed headings list. The instruction says use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings like "Our commitment to safety". So we omit those sections.

Include mission, Aurora Driver, tackling complex problems, etc. Also include COE description and role as Corporate FP&A Senior Analyst.
