Kinetik • Houston, TX

144d

About The Position

Kinetik is establishing a Financial Systems & Analytics function within Finance, and this position is its first hire. The Analyst is a builder within the finance team, designing, building, and maintaining custom workflows, automations, and dashboards across FP&A, Accounting, Planning, and other Finance functions. The role works directly with the Vice President of Finance & Business Transformation and Treasurer and uses tools such as Python, SQL, and LLM-assisted development tools.

The Analyst must understand the finance and accounting logic behind the tools they build and take ownership of those tools throughout their lifecycle, including documentation, version control, validation, and maintenance. The role offers significant responsibility and executive visibility for an early-career position at a public company. The ideal candidate is self-motivated, detail-oriented, eager to learn, and interested in creating value in a collaborative team environment.

The position is primarily in an office environment, with prolonged periods of sitting and computer work. Occasional driving to Kinetik plants and worksites may be needed, and the role may involve outdoor work in adverse or extreme weather. Availability outside normal working hours may be required for business needs.
