About the role

As Riot's data center portfolio scales, this role sits at the center of how capital is allocated, risks are managed, and value is created. Serving as a divisional CFO and trusted partner to executive leadership, the Senior Director of Portfolio Strategy & Analytics will own financial planning, drive portfolio-level investment decisions, and shape the narrative delivered to Riot's board, investors, and lenders — all while maintaining the operational clarity needed to align teams across accounting, construction, development, and procurement. We're looking for a commercially sharp, intellectually rigorous leader equally at home in the details of a Procore construction system reconciliation and in presenting capital strategy in the boardroom. 

While there is a preference for candidates based in Denver, CO, we are open to a hybrid arrangement for the right candidate located elsewhere in the U.S. - with the expectation of regular travel to Denver as needed.

What You'll Do

• Strategic Financial Leadership 
• • Define and lead the annual operating plan, long-range financial strategy, and rolling forecast processes for the data center business. 

• • Serve as a senior financial advisor to the executive team, translating business objectives into actionable financial frameworks and capital allocation strategies. 

• • Evaluate development opportunities, acquisitions, and strategic initiatives with rigorous financial analysis, scenario modeling, and clear investment recommendations — including analysis tied to new builds, tenant requirements, and design decisions. 

• • Research cost drivers, supply chain dynamics, and construction trends relevant to Riot's development model to inform strategic planning and capital positioning. 
• Financial Planning & Performance Management 
• • Own end-to-end budgeting, forecasting, and pro forma modeling — integrating revenue, operating expenses, capital expenditures, and cash flow. 

• • Track actuals versus plan, prepare variance insights, and partner with accounting and project teams to explain variances and to ensure alignment between critical systems such as Procore (construction) and NetSuite (financial). 

• • Lead monthly and quarterly financial reviews with executive leadership, providing forward-looking perspective on risks, opportunities, and performance trends. 

• • Prepare monthly updates capturing major portfolio changes — including financial shifts, change orders, and schedule adjustments — and translate them into executive-ready narratives. 
• Portfolio & Capital Planning 
• • Own portfolio-level capital forecasts, integrating budget updates, schedule shifts, procurement timing, and cost-to-complete changes in real time. 

• • Lead executive portfolio reviews that synthesize capital needs, development risks, and long-term roadmap impacts into clear, decision-ready materials. 

• • Partner cross-functionally with construction and scheduling teams to understand field-level updates that affect budgets or timelines, and with procurement to surface long-lead equipment risks — including switchgear, cooling systems, generators, and OFCI items.
