About The Position

Pace is hiring a self-directed Senior Financial Analyst for its corporate FP&A team, which produces the consolidated financial view used by management and the Board across more than 100 labs and service centers. The analyst will own the consolidation process end to end, from pulling and reconciling data through delivering Board-ready reporting. The role works directly with the Head of FP&A, finance directors, and senior leaders. Initially, it reports to the Head of FP&A and will move to the FP&A Manager once that role is filled. The position includes monthly management reporting and quarterly Board materials, capital expenditure tracking, business partnering, and building repeatable reporting and reconciliation processes. It also supports integration of operational and sales metrics from a planned enterprise data lake. The role is hybrid, with a Monday–Friday schedule of 8:30 a.m.–5:00 p.m., described as flexible.
