About The Position

As a Senior Financial Analyst on the FP&A team, you’ll play a hands-on role during a defining phase of Relay’s growth as we scale towards a potential IPO. Reporting to the Manager, FP&A, you’ll help build and run the planning, forecasting, and reporting engine that informs decisions across the company. This is a high-ownership role for an exceptional early-career professional — someone with a strong academic record and 2–3 years of experience in a rigorous analytical environment (e.g., management consulting, investment banking) who is fluent in modern AI tooling. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with senior business leaders on the real problems that come with scaling a company: thinking critically about how we measure success and the KPIs that matter, driving the annual operating plan for the entire business, and building deliverables for our most senior audiences: the board, investors, and lenders.

• Genuine affinity for numbers.
• Ability to synthesize information quickly and simplify a complex set of variables into a clear answer.
• Comfortable with — and excited about — using modern AI tools to automate reporting, clean data, and accelerate analysis.
• Versatile generalist who likes variety and can flex to wherever the business needs you.
• Bias for action and thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous, build-as-you-go environment.
• Continuous-improvement mentality to the processes you touch.
