[Hiring] Financial Analyst @Siemens

Role Description

We are looking for a Financial Analyst – Controlling with a solid foundation in finance and a genuine interest in data, analytics, and automation. You will join the Grid Software Services Americas finance team, reporting to the Head of Finance, supporting the full portfolio with a focus on Power Technologies International (PTI), our power systems consulting and engineering business.

You’ll make an impact by:

• PTI Finance Operations
  • Business partnering: Support the finance partner for PTI leadership, project managers, and sales, providing analysis of revenue, margin, costs, and backlog for a consulting business that runs on people, hours, and projects.
  • Project financials: Support PTI project and order setup, review time and billing data, and maintain accurate project revenue recognition (Percentage of Completion) in SAP.
  • Utilization & capacity: Prepare utilization, capacity, and headcount reporting that feeds the monthly business review and helps leadership balance workload against demand.
  • Operational accuracy: Handle a steady volume of transactional and data-entry work with care, and document each recurring process so knowledge is shared across the team rather than held by one person.
• Financial Steering & FP&A
  • Closing & Reporting: Support month-end, quarter-end, and year-end activities. Lead margin analysis and backlog reporting to ensure a clear picture of business health.
  • Variance Analysis: Prepare monthly commentary that tells the story behind the numbers, explaining variances between actual results and forecasts with clarity and insight.
  • Planning & forecasting: Contribute to budget, forecast, and recurring headquarters requests for the PTI business.
  • Business analysis: Perform targeted data analysis to identify trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Commercial Operations (Order-to-Cash)
  • O2C Management: Own and improve the end-to-end Order-to-Cash process, including customer setup, order intake, invoicing, and cash receipt.
  • Issue resolution: Spot and help resolve bottlenecks in billing and collections to improve cash flow and customer satisfaction.
• Standardization & Automation
  • Standardize: Turn recurring processes into consistent templates, checklists, and controls that others on the team can run.
  • Automate: Identify manual steps and reduce them over time using tools such as Power Query, Power Automate, and KNIME – progressively shifting your own time from data entry to analysis.
  • Partner on reporting: Work alongside the team’s Financial Data Architect, who owns the data models and Power BI platform; you bring the process expertise and are a key user and tester of the reporting tools.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance or Accounting.
• 5+ years of progressive experience in finance and/or accounting roles, ideally within a multinational, software, or professional-services organization.

• Proficiency with SAP FI and CO modules.
• Advanced Excel skills, including Power Query and relational data modeling – well beyond VLOOKUPs.
• A strong desire to learn and apply tools like Power BI, Power Automate, and KNIME to improve how finance works.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without Visa sponsorship.

Requirements

• MBA or professional certification (CPA/CMA).
• Experience in a consulting or professional-services environment (utilization, time-and-materials and fixed-price project billing).
• Exposure to SQL or Python.
• Ability to manage tight deadlines and high-volume work while keeping an uncompromising eye for detail and a collaborative spirit.

Benefits
