  • Support your financial and business partners in the creation of analyses to support business strategy.
  • Review competitor press releases, SEC filings, and industry trade press for helpful insights, linking key themes together.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.
What Will Our Ideal Candidate Have?

  • Experience with Financial Analysis concepts and processes and accounting practices and principles.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively with business partners.
  • Ability to analyze data to interpret trends and provide insights to management.
  • Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to handle shifting priorities.
  • Ability to foresee challenges and proactively look for ways to create more efficient processes for the business.
  • Experience using Microsoft Office (e.g., Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint) and Financial Reporting Software (e.g. TM1, Essbase, Hyperion, etc.).

What is a Must Have?
  • Two years of finance, financial planning, accounting, or related experience.

What Is in It for You?
  • Health Insurance: Employees and their eligible family members – including spouses, domestic partners, and children – are eligible for coverage from the first day of employment.
