The Senior Financial Analyst will report into the Senior Manager FP&A and will interact with colleagues in finance (FP&A, corporate development, accounting, etc.) and in IT.

  • Ideally candidates will have worked for a large, global, public company (but not necessarily required for a quick learner).

    • Strong experience with budget management, ideally directly managing a global budget of over $50M.
    • Experience giving presentations regarding budgets, forecasts, and FP&A findings to senior level stakeholders such as CTO, CIO, and CFO.

    • Soft Skills:
      • Qualified candidates will be clear, effective, and confident communicators who can collaborate closely with finance and non-finance colleagues.
      • Systems:
        • Strong technical and systems skills are required, particularly within Excel (including Power Query, macros, etc.) and Power BI. Experience using a large ERP is very beneficial. Experience using any other FP&A relevant systems (Cognos, Tableau, OneStream, IBM PAW, etc) would be great! Experience using PowerPoint to deliver clear, compelling, and relevant presentations.
        • Education:
          • Relevant post-secondary education is required for this role- such as a University degree in finance, commerce, business, or accounting.
          • Completion of CFA level 1 or 2 is highly preferred.
