Financial Systems & Analytics Analyst

Kinetik • Houston, TX

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Kinetik is establishing a new Financial Systems & Analytics function within its Finance department, and this role is the inaugural hire. This is a hands-on, builder-focused position within the finance team, not an IT role. The Analyst will be responsible for designing, building, and maintaining custom workflows, automations, and dashboards across Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), Accounting, and Planning. This role involves direct collaboration with the Vice President of Finance & Business Transformation and the Treasurer, utilizing modern, LLM-assisted development tools such as Python and SQL. Success requires a deep understanding of the financial and accounting logic behind the developed tools, not just coding proficiency. The Analyst will own the full lifecycle of their code, ensuring it is documented, version-controlled, validated, and maintained. This position offers a significant level of responsibility and executive visibility, which is uncommon for an early-career role at a public company with an enterprise value of approximately $12 billion. The ideal candidate is highly self-motivated, possesses a strong work ethic, demonstrates an eagerness to learn, and is driven to create value within a collaborative team setting.

Requirements

• Recent undergraduate to 1-2 years of experience
• Bachelor’s degree in Management Information Systems, Statistics, Business Analytics, Finance, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field (or equivalent demonstrated capability)
• Demonstrated ability to build in Python and SQL. Candidates will be asked to walk through something they have built
• Working knowledge of core finance and accounting concepts (financial statements, budgeting/forecasting) through coursework, internship, or equivalent
• Hands-on experience building with LLM tools. Formal coursework is a plus, but evidence of real use matters more
• Strong Excel fluency
• Rigorous attention to detail and an unwillingness to ship unvalidated output
• Eagerness to learn and create value within an organization

Nice To Haves

• Experience with BI/dashboarding tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar)
• Familiarity with version control or basic software documentation practices
• Internship or project experience in finance, analytics, or business intelligence
• An interest in the energy industry

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain custom workflows, automations, and dashboards for FP&A, Planning, and other Finance functions
• Extract, clean, validate, and structure company data from source systems
• Translate finance-team needs into working tools by understanding the underlying calculation logic, not just the surface request
• Build reporting accurate enough to inform executive decision-making, validating outputs against source systems
• Follow and help establish engineering standards (version control, documentation, testing, and data validation) within the Company’s approved AI and data governance framework
• Maintain and improve tools over time as needs evolve
• Support ad hoc analysis and projects as needed
