Financial Analyst, Strategic Finance

About The Position

We are looking for an analyst to join the team and become the analytical engine behind one of our business areas. You will work closely with a senior member of the team, build the models and reporting that our business partners rely on, and get exposure to functional leaders and the executive team far earlier than you would at a larger company. You will be assigned to one of our areas based on your strengths and where the business needs the most support. We do not require prior experience in any specific function. We care much more about analytical horsepower, curiosity about how a business actually works, and how quickly you learn. Strategic Finance is the finance business partnering team at NinjaOne. We are a small, high-leverage group that works directly with the leaders of our largest functions on the decisions that matter: how fast to grow, where to invest, what a plan should look like, and whether it is working. We are organized around three areas: go-to-market finance, corporate finance, and functional business partnering across the business. As the company continues to scale, we are adding two people to the team. This is a small team, so you will own real scope early and your work will be seen by the executive team. We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, KS, ME, MA, MD, NJ, NC, NY, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, & WA.

Requirements

Roughly 1 to 3 years in FP&A, business finance, consulting, banking, data analysis, or a comparable analytical role.
Strong Excel and financial fundamentals, and the instinct to sanity check your own output.
Clear written communication. You will be explaining numbers to people who do not work in finance.
High slope. We are hiring for where you will be in two years as much as where you are today.
A working style built around automating the repeatable parts of the job.
Our team sits on the West Coast, so we ask for meaningful overlap with Pacific time.
Open to occasional travel for team and company onsites.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with AI tools, BI tools, or SQL is a plus, and we will help you build it if you have the instinct but have not had the tools.

Responsibilities

Build and maintain the models that drive planning for your area, including headcount, capacity, and spend.
Own recurring reporting and monthly variance analysis and write the first draft of the story behind the numbers.
Partner with the business on spend tracking and review, and flag what looks off before someone else finds it.
Build the metrics and dashboards that tell us whether a function is getting more efficient.
Take on ad hoc analysis for the executive team, which at a company this size happens often.
Other duties as needed
