About The Position

This role is for a Project Financial Analyst within Operations and Professional Services.

Currently, pricing for these services is managed by operations leaders, and there is a need for dedicated project-level financial analysis to understand profitability, identify cost variances, and ensure accurate billing. This is the first Project Financial Analyst position, and the successful candidate will be responsible for building and owning financial models, reporting packages, and processes from scratch within their first ninety days.
