Finance Analyst
About The Position
Sparkfund is seeking a Finance Analyst responsible for building and maintaining programmatic pricing models used to structure and price deals.

The Finance Analyst will partner with Business Development, Program, and Project teams to source and validate financial assumptions, translate model outputs for non-finance stakeholders, and ensure the integrity of pricing models under review. Success is defined by maintaining accurate and robust pricing models that withstand scrutiny from finance leadership and deal counterparts.
