What success looks like (first 60–90 days)
- You can run key forecast / budget workflows with confidence and improve at least one piece of the process (speed, accuracy, or usability)
- You build at least one model or dashboard that leadership uses to make a decision

Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in finance, Economics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, or related field (or equivalent experience)
- 0-2 years of experience in FP&A / corporate finance (preferred; we care more about capability than tenure)
- Strong analytical skills including financial modeling, forecasting, and comfort with quantitative methods

- Experience building interactive dashboards using Power BI, Tableau, or Looker
- Excellent communication skills: can translate complex analysis into clear, actionable takeaways
- High attention to detail, strong sense of ownership, and ability to manage shifting priorities
Qualifications
- The person we’re looking for, you’re the kind of analyst who:
- Is smart, deeply curious, and learns fast - especially new systems and new business problems (self-starter / self-learner)
- Can take one sentence of direction and come back with the model, the analysis, the “so what,” the recommended next steps—and the two things we didn’t ask for but should’ve
- Lives in Excel (advanced formulas, clean structuring, speed + accuracy), builds strong models, and can pressure-test assumptions
- Turns numbers into crisp PowerPoint narratives (simple, visual, executive-ready)
- Builds Power BI dashboards and visualizations that enable real-time insight—not just “pretty charts”
- Thinks like a systems connector (ERP ? planning tool ? reporting ? dashboards), and loves improving processes rather than working around them
- Brings a great personality: low-ego, high-output, collaborative, and reliable under pressure
