As a Senior Financial Analyst, you will play a key role in driving financial insight, supporting strategic decision‑making, and improving FP&A processes across the organization. This role goes beyond execution to include ownership of key analyses, independent judgment, and influence with senior leaders.

You will lead complex financial modeling, partner closely with cross‑functional leaders, and help shape operating expense and capital expense forecasting and budgeting, incentive compensation, and executive reporting. This role is ideal for an analyst ready to operate with increased autonomy, accountability, and visibility.
