[Hiring] Senior Financial Analyst @Mirantis

Role Description

• Budgeting, Forecasting & Variance Analysis
  • Own the annual operating plan (AOP) and rolling forecast processes for assigned business unit(s) — including OpEx, headcount, and revenue components.
  • Build and maintain detailed driver-based financial models that connect operational assumptions (headcount, deal velocity, consumption rates) to P&L outcomes.
  • Produce monthly and quarterly budget-vs-actual (BVA) analysis with clear, well-reasoned variance narratives — not just the numbers, but what they mean and what action they suggest.
  • Develop subsequent-period reforecasts based on actuals trends, pipeline signals, and operating changes; communicate updates to FP&A leadership and BU stakeholders on a defined cadence.
• Business Unit Financial Partnership
  • Serve as the primary finance contact for assigned business units — building trusted working relationships with BU and/or functional leaders and their teams.
  • Translate financial results into operational language that BU leaders can act on; translate BU operating plans into financial models that FP&A leadership can rely on.
  • Proactively identify analytical opportunities within assigned BUs, including ROI analysis, pricing and discount rate modeling, product margin analysis, customer cohort economics, and long-range planning.
  • Support the finance team's preparation of monthly and quarterly management reporting packages, board materials, and investor-facing performance summaries.
• Process Improvement & Systems
  • Actively participate in FP&A process automation, tool implementation, and continuous improvement initiatives — with a bias toward building scalable, repeatable processes rather than one-off analyses.
  • Support adoption and optimization of Adaptive Insights (planning), NetSuite (ERP), and Salesforce (pipeline/CRM) data flows into the FP&A reporting infrastructure.
  • Develop and maintain standardized templates, data dictionaries, and model documentation to reduce key-person dependency and improve team leverage.
• Month-End & Close Support
  • Collaborate with the Accounting team on month-end and quarter-end close activities, including accrual inputs, headcount reconciliation, and flux analysis.
  • Ensure management reporting is reconciled to GL actuals on a timely basis; resolve discrepancies proactively rather than waiting for issues to surface in reporting.

Qualifications

• Required
  • 5–10 years of FP&A, corporate finance, or financial planning experience — specifically within a software, SaaS, or technology company.
  • Demonstrated proficiency building driver-based financial models in Excel from scratch — not maintaining inherited models, but designing and building your own.
  • Experience producing BVA packages and variance narratives for senior leadership consumption — not just generating the numbers but writing the story.
  • Strong Excel skills (advanced modeling, pivot tables, index/match, dynamic arrays); proficient PowerPoint for financial presentation construction.
  • Ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams with competing deadlines without sacrificing accuracy or analytical quality.
• Preferred
  • Experience with Adaptive Insights (Workday Adaptive Planning), NetSuite, and Salesforce in an integrated FP&A environment.
  • Familiarity with SaaS and subscription business model metrics and/or consumption-based revenue models.
  • Familiarity with Data Center infrastructure environments from expense or revenue perspective; or demonstrated willingness to develop that domain fluency quickly.
  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field required; MBA a positive signal but not required.

Benefits

• Build the observability foundation for the AI cloud era, working directly with leading GPU cloud operators, NeoClouds, sovereign clouds, and AI-first enterprises.
• Collaborate with a world-class, distributed team committed to openness and technical excellence.
• Shape the product narrative and influence go-to-market success.
