  • Build and test prototypes for AI-enabled Finance workflows, such as automated business review narratives, anomaly detection, variance explanation, forecast drivers, natural-language insight discovery, and self-service reporting
  • Partner with Data Engineering, Finance Systems and central data teams to move prototypes into reliable, governed, production-ready solutions
  • Define and standardize KPI frameworks for financial metrics ensuring alignment across Finance and business teams
  • Design and scale dashboards, reporting solutions, and self-service analytics experiences that improve adoption, reduce manual reporting, and help business partners make faster, more consistent decisions
  • Analyze business and financial metrics to uncover key drivers of growth, retention, churn, productivity, and efficiency, and recommend clear data-backed actions
  • Establish scalable, repeatable analytics frameworks and best practices that improve Finance decision-making and create consistency across planning, forecasting, reporting, and business reviews
  • Apply strong governance, quality control, and documentation practices to ensure AI-enabled workflows are accurate, explainable, secure, and appropriate for Finance decision support
  • Communicate insights, recommendations, and roadmap tradeoffs to senior leadership through clear storytelling, executive-ready presentations, and concise written narratives
  • Mentor junior analysts and contribute to raising the overall analytical, technical, and AI-readiness capabilities of the Business Analytics team


Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree or higher in a quantitative field
  • 8-10+ years of experience in analytical fields such as consulting, strategic finance, BizOps, data science, business intelligence, data engineering
  • Advanced SQL skills with the ability to work with large, complex datasets and multiple data sources
  • Strong experience with BI and visualization tools such as Power BI, or similar platforms

  • Experience designing AI-ready data products, semantic layers, metric stores, or governed datasets that support self-service analytics and workflow automation
  • Experience building and deploying predictive models to forecast key metrics
  • Experience designing an optimal decision support process, defining a product strategy to enable it, translating into a roadmap, and enabling it through technology
  • Domain experience in FP&A and / or sales, marketing, and customer success operations
