FP&A Systems Analyst

Upside•Washington, DC

14h•$102,000 - $116,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We are looking for an FP&A Systems Analyst who views finance as a data problem. You won’t just be "using" an FP&A tool; you will be a lead architect of our web-based planning platform (Pigment). You will bridge the gap between our existing systems and our executive-level strategic forecasts. At Upside, we don't do "manual." You will be responsible for automating the data pipeline so that our Finance team can spend 100% of their time on strategy and 0% on manual reconciliation.

Requirements

The Technical Core: 3+ years of experience in FP&A or Strategic Finance at a high-growth SaaS/Tech company, with at least 1+ years specifically managing a web-based FP&A platform (e.g., Pigment, Anaplan, Adaptive, or Vena).
Data Fluency: Advanced SQL skills are a must. You should be comfortable querying large datasets and understanding data structures.
Systems Thinking: Deep experience with modern Cloud ERPs (NetSuite preferred) and how they integrate with downstream reporting tools.
Strategic Mindset: The ability to explain a "complex data join" to a CFO and "unit economics" to an Engineer.
The Upside Values: A bias for action, a commitment to making every decision "measurable," and a desire to solve "the unsolvable."

Responsibilities

Platform Ownership: Act as an administrator and architect for our web-based FP&A tool, designing multi-dimensional models that reflect our complex business drivers.
The Data Bridge: Design and maintain automated ETL workflows between our ERP, CRM (Salesforce), and the FP&A platform to ensure "one source of truth" for all financial and operational data.
Predictive Modeling: Partner with our Data Engineering team to integrate machine learning-based revenue forecasts directly into our rolling financial plans.
Process Engineering: Eliminate manual spreadsheet "shadow systems" by building self-service dashboards and automated variance reporting for department heads.
Be an Owner: Proactively identify data integrity issues and optimize our Chart of Accounts (COA) mapping to improve the granularity of our unit economic reporting.
