Senior FP&A Analyst

Faraday Future•El Segundo, CA

About The Position

A rare Senior Analyst opportunity to work directly on modernization initiatives while building deep public-company FP&A expertise, with clear runway to Manager-level advancement.

You will work hands-on with SAP, Power BI, and an upcoming modern EPM platform to deliver timely, accurate financial insights across a multi-segment public company.

Solid experience with monthly close cycles, variance analysis, budget, and forecast.
Excellent attention to detail with the ability to synthesize data into executive-ready insight.
Comfortable operating in a build-and-improve environment; self-directed with strong ownership mindset.

MBA, CPA, or CMA a plus.

Interest in AI/LLM applications in finance — agent-based analysis, forecast automation, natural-language reporting.
Automotive, robotics, or technology-driven industry background.
Business proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a plus given regular cross-border collaboration with China-based team members.
