Analyst, Financial Planning & Analysis

Link Logistics•New York, NY

1d•$100,000 - $115,000

About The Position

The Analyst, Financial Planning & Analysis will work directly with FP&A leadership to identify, design, and deploy AI-native solutions that transform how the company plans, forecasts, reports, and makes decisions. This role is designed to grow. Exceptional performance will shape both the scope of the position and the broader AI strategy for FP&A and the firm. You will operate across the full FP&A organization (~30 people, seven sub-teams) and partner with stakeholders across Asset Management, Accounting, Capital Markets, and Technology. The scope is deliberately broad: we want someone who can move fluidly between building a working prototype, pressure-testing a financial model, and presenting a vision to senior leadership. We are looking for people to solve real problems at scale. Link Logistics is one of the largest industrial REITs in the country. The datasets are massive, the decisions are consequential, and the opportunity to create leverage through AI is enormous.

Requirements

1–3 years of professional experience in finance, consulting, technology, or a related analytical field
Demonstrated ability to build functional tools or applications using code (Python, SQL, and/or JavaScript) — we care about what you've built, not where you learned it
Deep, practical fluency with AI tools — you use LLMs, code assistants, and AI-powered workflows daily and can articulate both their capabilities and limitations
Strong financial acumen — you can read a P&L, understand a DCF, and speak the language of FP&A even if your background isn't purely finance
Exceptional communication skills — you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into technical specifications
High agency and ownership mentality — you thrive with ambiguity, move fast, and take initiative without waiting for detailed instructions
Intellectual curiosity and a bias toward building — you'd rather prototype a solution than write a deck about one

Nice To Haves

Experience in real estate, private equity, or asset management
Familiarity with data visualization and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, Looker)
Experience with data platforms and semantic layers (Databricks, Snowflake, dbt)
Experience building with LLM APIs, AI agents, or retrieval-augmented generation pipelines
Exposure to financial planning systems (Anaplan, Adaptive, Hyperion)

Responsibilities

Build & Ship AI-Powered Tools: Design, prototype, and deploy AI-driven workflows that automate or augment core FP&A processes — budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, leasing analytics, portfolio reporting
Build internal applications, dashboards, and agents using LLMs, APIs, and modern development frameworks (Python, JavaScript/React, SQL)
Translate ambiguous business problems into structured, scalable technical solutions
Drive Process Transformation: Partner with process owners to redesign workflows around AI capabilities rather than retrofitting AI onto legacy processes
Develop and maintain documentation, playbooks, and training materials that enable the broader team to adopt new tools
Serve as the AI Knowledge Center: Stay current on the rapidly evolving AI/ML landscape — foundation models, agents, retrieval-augmented generation, code generation, structured reasoning — and translate developments into practical applications for the business
Evaluate and recommend third-party AI tools, platforms, and vendors
Champion AI adoption across FP&A and the broader organization through demos, workshops, and hands-on enablement
Contribute to Core FP&A: Support financial analysis, reporting, and ad hoc projects as needed to build deep context on the business and its data
Partner with teams across NOI, Valuations, Capital Management, Corporate G&A, and Asset Management Reporting to understand their pain points and priorities
Develop fluency in the company's financial systems, data architecture, and reporting ecosystem (Yardi, Anaplan, Power BI, Databricks/Semantic Layer)
