Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Executive & Business Partnership

• Act as a partnering financial analyst to HR & Finance leaders, providing thought partnership on corporate HR programs including health and benefits, tuition reimbursement, and employee recognition initiatives (e.g., Applause).
• Monitor and manage expense trends, identifying drivers, risks, and opportunities to improve financial efficiency and sustainability.
• Proactively recommend actions and tradeoffs to guide strategy, operations, and investment decisions.
• Communicate financial results and implications clearly to VPlevel and executive audiences, tailoring messages for decisionmakers rather than technical reviewers.

Financial Analysis & Storytelling

• Develop clear, insightdriven storylines for monthly results, forecasts, and planning cycles-linking financial outcomes to headcount, program activity, and business drivers.
• Isolate key drivers, quantify financial impacts, and forecast implications using factbased, forwardlooking analysis.
• Translate complex models into concise executive messages (the "so what" and "what's next").

Planning, Forecasting & Reporting

• Own and contribute to HR operating plan, forecast, and results processes, including workforce (FTE), employeerelated expenses, vendor services, and corporate programs.
• Deliver accurate, timely reporting with commentary that enables leaders to quickly understand performance versus plan and yeartodate trends.
• Monitor actuals against plan, diagnose emerging issues, and recommend corrective actions.

Data, Tools & CrossFunctional Integration

• Build and maintain moderately to highly complex financial models (MS Excel/Power BI) incorporating multiple data sources (e.g., Workday, FDW, SAP vendor data).
• Partner crossfunctionally with HR, Procurement, ATS, and Finance teams to ensure data accuracy, resolve discrepancies, and align financial outcomes to operational realities.
• Continuously improve how data is visualized and presented to meet HR Finance and executive presentation standards.

Leadership & Professional Presence

• Lead effective presentations for small and large groups, demonstrating confidence, clarity, and executive presence.
• Manage complex, ambiguous analysis projects independently with minimal oversight.
• Serve as a role model for strong analytical thinking, structured problemsolving, and professional communication.

What Success Looks Like in the First 6-12 Months

• Your materials require minimal rework and are described as "clear," "crisp," and "decisionoriented."
• You proactively identify risks, opportunities, and insights ahead of leadership discussions.
• Your analyses consistently influence planning, prioritization, and investment decisions.

Experience & Qualifications

• 5+ years of progressive financial analysis experience (HR Finance, workforce analytics, or expense management experience strongly preferred).
• Ability to work independently, manage priorities, and operate effectively in a highly visible role.
• Advanced Excel & Power Point skills; experience with Workday, SAP, Power BI or similar tools preferred.
• Strong communication and presentation skills with demonstrated experience building executivelevel presentations and storytelling from complex data.
• Strong analytical, modeling, and problemsolving skills with comfort navigating ambiguity.

Why This Role Is Different
