Financial Systems Analyst

Ridgeline•Reno, NV

10d•$107,000 - $147,000•Hybrid

About The Position

Ridgeline is looking for a Systems Analyst to help design and build the finance and data ecosystem that powers our next stage of growth. You'll partner across the business to shape how our core systems work together, and bring an AI-forward mindset to how we plan, report, and scale. You'll have real influence over those decisions, working closely with finance leadership to turn your recommendations into what we actually build. You'll also have direct access to Ridgeline's AI toolset (Claude, ChatGPT, Glean, and more) to do it. Within 6 months, you'll have partnered with HR, accounting, and business teams to move the Workday implementation forward, and you'll be actively re-implementing Adaptive Planning so it's used organization-wide rather than siloed to one team. Within a year, you'll have designed and stood up a full planning strategy — spanning hierarchies, workflows, headcount, vendor, financial, and scenario planning — that other teams rely on daily.

Requirements

3+ years of real, hands-on experience administering or implementing Workday and/or Adaptive Planning for Finance teams.
Technical fluency: comfortable with code and SQL, and understands the accounting chart of accounts.
A self-starter who can operate with significant autonomy and ambiguity, and is comfortable owning decisions without a deep layer of oversight.
Genuinely AI-forward — uses AI tools proactively to automate and improve workflows, not just as a novelty.

Nice To Haves

Experience with other ERP/FP&A planning tools (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan) is a plus, though Workday/Adaptive is our focus.
Prior implementation experience with a general ledger or ERP system beyond Workday/Adaptive (e.g., NetSuite, Campfire, Brex).
Background partnering directly with finance and accounting teams on system design, not just execution.

Responsibilities

Partner with HR, accounting, and business stakeholders to drive our Workday implementation forward.
Own the administration and re-implementation of Adaptive Planning, moving it from siloed use to organization-wide adoption.
Design and build a comprehensive planning strategy covering hierarchies, workflows, headcount planning, vendor planning, financial planning, and scenario planning.
Bring technical rigor to system architecture decisions, writing code and SQL where needed to solve real data and reporting problems.
Identify and stand up AI-driven automation across finance and data workflows.
