Strategic Finance Analyst

About The Role

We are a global cloud infrastructure company focused on compute, networking, and AI infrastructure. Our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team sits at the center of company-level financial planning and business performance analysis that support executive decision-making. This is a generalist analyst role with a practical, execution-oriented scope.

What you'll do

• Maintain and improve recurring reporting templates over time
• Own key components of the monthly FP&A report: pulling data, assembling the pack, and ensuring accuracy and consistency across cuts
• Flag variances and anomalies proactively; don't just assemble numbers, understand them
• Build and maintain profitability analyses by customer, region, product line, etc.
• Support business performance reviews and the FP&A Business Partner in China on planning cycles, reporting, and business unit analysis
• Turn around ad hoc requests from senior leadership quickly; think hours, not days
• Prepare executive-facing PowerPoint materials including operating reviews, strategy updates, and board materials, working directly with the Head of Strategy & FP&A
• Maintain consistency and quality across recurring presentation templates
• Pull, clean, and manipulate data independently; you don’t need a data team to run queries for you
• Work across multiple data sources to assemble coherent views of business performance
• Support the broader team with analysis, formatting, and data preparation as needed

Required

• Solid financial modeling and Excel skills; you build clean, well-structured models and know how to maintain them
• Ability to pull and manipulate data independently; SQL is a plus but not required if you can get the job done another way
• Experience with profitability analysis or business performance reporting, such as customer-level, regional, or product-level P&L work
• Attention to detail and reliability; the monthly reporting cycle depends on you getting it right
• Clear written communication and the judgment to know when a quick answer is better than a perfect one
• Willingness to work evening hours on a regular basis to coordinate with teams in China

Nice to have

• Experience in cloud infrastructure or a capital-intensive business
• Background in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or a high-output in-house finance team
