Senior Financial Analyst, Strategic Finance

About The Position

We are looking for a senior analyst to own a functional area end to end as an embedded finance partner. You will be the finance person a business leader calls first: you will know their operating model as well as they do, build and own the models that drive their headcount and spend decisions, and run a real monthly rhythm with them. You will be assigned to one of our areas based on your strengths and where the business needs the most support. That could be support, G&A, or go-to-market. We do not require prior experience in any specific function. What we care about is whether you can learn how a business works and turn that into analysis a leader will act on. Strategic Finance is the finance business partnering team at NinjaOne. We are a small, high-leverage group that works directly with the leaders of our largest functions on the decisions that matter: how fast to grow, where to invest, what a plan should look like, and whether it is working. We are organized around three areas: go-to-market finance, corporate finance, and functional business partnering across the business. As the company continues to scale, we are adding two people to the team. This is a small team, so you will own real scope early and your work will be seen by the executive team. Location - We are flexible on remote working from home, if you are located in the USA and reside in one of the following states - CA, CO, CT, FL, GA, IL, KS, ME, MA, MD, NJ, NC, NY, OH, OR, TN, TX, VA, & WA.

Requirements

Roughly 2 to 5 years in FP&A, business finance, consulting, banking, or a comparable analytical role. We are open on years if the substance is there.
Strong financial modeling and the analytical judgment to know when an answer is wrong.
The communication skills and presence to work directly with a functional leader and hold your own in that conversation.
Evidence that you can take something ambiguous and own it without being managed closely.
A working style built around automating the repeatable parts of the job.
Our team sits on the West Coast, so we ask for meaningful overlap with Pacific time.
Open to occasional travel for team and company onsites.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with AI tools, BI tools, SQL, or planning systems is a plus, and we will help you build it if you have the instinct but have not had the tools.

Responsibilities

Owning the operating and capacity model for your area, including how headcount and spend scale with the drivers of the business.
Managing the forecast, budget, and long-range plan for your functions, and the narrative that explains the variances.
Conducting a monthly business review with your functional leaders: what happened, why, and what it means for the rest of the year.
Vendor and operating expense review, including where we are getting leverage and where we are not.
Decision support on the questions that come up in between, from business cases to scenario work to whatever the leader is wrestling with that quarter.
Other duties as needed
