SENIOR BUSINESS ANALYST / SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST
Data Analytics | Finance | Operations
Professional Alternatives has partnered with a multi-billion-dollar global company to identify a Senior Business Analyst / Senior Financial Analyst for a highly visible role supporting Finance Operations and Shared Services.
This is not a traditional FP&A or reporting position. It is a hybrid role sitting at the intersection of data analytics, finance, and operations, with an emphasis on turning data into actionable business improvements and then helping drive those improvements through execution.
THE ROLE
This position has three key components:
DATA & ANALYTICS
- Extract, validate, organize and analyze data from multiple business systems
- Develop reporting, dashboards and decision-support tools
- Partner with IT to improve data accessibility, quality and usability
- Translate business questions into meaningful analysis and actionable insights
- Help create trusted, consistent sources of information across Finance and Operations
FINANCE & OPERATIONS
- Analyze financial and operational processes across areas including AP, AR, Billing and Procurement
- Identify process breakdowns, inefficiencies and root causes
- Develop recommendations that improve financial and operational performance
- Partner cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, Shared Services and IT
EXECUTION
- Take analysis beyond identifying the problem—help drive the solution
- Support process improvement, systems enhancements and strategic initiatives
- Translate findings into practical recommendations and follow through on implementation
- Help move initiatives from concept through execution and measurable improvement
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Bachelor’s degree required
- 2+ years of progressive experience in finance, business analysis, operations, data analytics or a related field
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Experience working with large datasets, reporting tools and/or data models
- Ability to understand both the financial and operational side of the business
- Experience partnering with technical or IT teams on reporting, integrations or data solutions
- Ability to identify root causes, develop recommendations and drive follow-through
- ERP experience; SAP preferred
- Databricks or similar data-platform exposure is a plus
- Strong Excel and data-analysis capabilities
WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY
- Multi-billion-dollar global organization
- Opportunity to join a company in the midst of significant transformation
- Unique exposure across data, finance and operations
- Highly visible role working across multiple functional areas
- Opportunity to build solutions—not simply prepare reports
- Strong opportunity for professional growth and advancement
- Work directly on initiatives that improve how the business operates and makes decisions
If you are a strong analyst who enjoys digging into data, understanding the business problem, developing the solution and then helping make it happen, this could be an outstanding next step.
