About The Position

Capitol Broadcasting Company is seeking a full-time Senior Financial Analyst for Corporate FP&A. The Senior Financial Analyst plays a critical role in supporting the financial planning, analysis, and reporting functions for Corporate FP&A - including monthly close, consolidated reporting, forecast and budget cycles, and the operating model that supports them. This individual serves as a key partner across the Corporate FP&A team and BU finance leaders, providing reliable cycle support, clear and accurate reporting, and the disciplined, repeatable process behind both recurring deliverables and the broader plan.

The ideal candidate will possess strong analytical and process skills and the ability to run recurring cycles with precision. This role requires a proactive, self-motivated individual who can work independently as well as collaboratively to support the VP Finance, the Corporate FP&A team, and the CFO. A builder at heart, this person reaches for AI first - using tools like Claude to automate recurring analysis, accelerate modeling, and build documented, scalable systems that eliminate manual work and elevate the entire Corporate FP&A function’s capacity.

Requirements

• Hands-on Corporate FP&A cycle mechanics - close, forecast, budget - with a demonstrated ability to build and run the deliverables
• Strong analytical and modeling acumen across consolidated financial reporting and planning
• Obsessed with eliminating manual work - builds repeatable, automated, transferable tools and templates, increasingly AI-powered, using LLMs like Claude to automate analysis and accelerate modeling
• Aggregation, manipulation, and reconciliation of large, disparate datasets across multiple entities, divisions, and departments
• Ability to prioritize and manage a portfolio of recurring deliverables across overlapping cycles and various stakeholders
• Comfortable in PBCS (or equivalent EPM tool) and Excel at an advanced level
• Takes end-to-end ownership of recurring deliverables and stands behind their accuracy and timeliness
• Strong communication skills - able to tell stories with data, surface variances, risks, and exceptions clearly, and drive action and recommend improvements within the finance team and to Corporate partners
• Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, economics, or related field; MBA is a plus
• Minimum of 4-7 years of experience in Corporate FP&A roles focused on close, forecast, and budget mechanics at a company with multiple entities, divisions, and departments
• Proven track record of running Corporate cycles reliably and on schedule
• Advanced Excel skills - Power Queries, dynamic tables, arrays, driver-based modeling
• Hands-on operating mentality - owns the mechanics, not just the outputs
• Experience with financial reporting tools and ERP systems (e.g., PBCS, Smartview, Oracle)

Nice To Haves

• Project management aptitude - ability to manage multiple stakeholders and facilitate work being completed on schedule
• Presentation building for audiences ranging from individual contributors to senior leadership

Responsibilities

• Work with Corporate department leaders to review monthly actuals for their cost centers and capture forecast adjustments
• Partner with Accounting on accruals, month-end variances, and adjustments that flow through Corporate results
• Maintain the management reporting suite: dashboards, KPI views, and recurring reporting packages
• Prepare close materials for VP Finance and CFO review
• Surface variances and exceptions as part of the close cycle, with cause-of-change commentary vs. budget, forecast, and prior year
• Support the monthly forecast cycle end-to-end: data seeding, scenario locks, system load, and reconciliation
• Support the annual budget cycle from kickoff through final lock: timeline, Corporate opex build, BU aggregation, and final load
• Partner with Corporate department leaders on opex build, assumption validation, and submission support
• Support capex and workforce inputs during the annual budget cycle
• Support long-range planning - the 5-year operating model - across Corporate and BU aggregation
• Document assumptions and keep them consistent across cycles
• Use PBCS as the day-to-day system of record for forecast, budget, and reporting cycles, and support PBCS and Oracle ERP administration
• Maintain reporting tools, templates, and dashboards the broader team can run independently
• Support financial system changes end-to-end - testing, validating outputs, and documenting the new process for the team
• Prototype and deploy AI-assisted automations across the close, forecast, and budget cycles, turning manual, repetitive work into documented, repeatable systems
• Identify recurring tasks that can be systematized, consolidated, or automated - continuously raising the floor on what manual work is still required
• Provide ad hoc analysis and support to the VP Finance, CFO, and Corporate leaders, as needed
