The FAIM operating plan and forecast: annual planning (OP1/OP2), quarterly forecasts, and monthly actuals with variance analysis across revenue, headcount, and infrastructure spend
The business review mechanism: weekly, monthly, and quarterly reviews that leaders trust for accuracy and read for the story behind the number
Driver-based models that connect product usage (advertisers, campaigns, agent conversations, tokens, GPU hours) to revenue and cost to serve, for products with little or no history to extrapolate from
The investment cases: financial support for compute and GPU requests, headcount asks, and new product bets, including the analysis in documents that go to senior leadership
Key job responsibilities
Drive the planning cycle: build and maintain the FAIM financial model, consolidate inputs from Product, Engineering, and Science, and own the bridge between plan, forecast, and actuals
Run the monthly close analysis: explain variances, identify root causes, state the financial implication, and follow through on the actions that come out of it
Partner with product and engineering leaders to anticipate business needs, interpret trends, and evaluate the economics of new products, pricing, and infrastructure decisions
Build the models behind investment decisions (compute capacity, headcount, pricing) and write the financial sections of documents that senior leaders act on
Coordinate the business review mechanisms, ensuring reporting accuracy and clear communication of results and recommendations
Work with the team's business intelligence and data engineers so the finance data platform answers the questions the P&L raises; define what the business needs to measure and how it is read
Lead projects to automate, simplify, or scale finance processes, including AI-enabled tools that reduce manual work and defects
Uphold strong financial controllership: accurate accruals, clean cost allocation, and documented SOPs that let others pick up the work
We're looking for an analyst who brings
3+ years of finance, FP&A, or related analytical experience, and a bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related field
Strong financial modeling skills: driver-based forecasts, scenario analysis, and the attention to detail to make the numbers tie
Experience building financial and operational reports that inform decisions, and applying key performance indicators to explain what happened and why
Working SQL and advanced Excel fluency, with the habit of pulling your own data rather than waiting for it
Clear written and verbal communication, with the ability to explain a variance or a recommendation to a senior leader in plain language
Experience in advertising, software, or cloud infrastructure finance, especially with usage-based cost structures (compute, GPU, inference), is a plus
Python or equivalent for analysis and automation, and familiarity with QuickSight or similar reporting tools
Experience supporting a new product or 0-to-1 business where forecasting is built from drivers rather than trends
AI-native working style: using tools such as Kiro, Claude Code, or equivalent to automate recurring analysis and catch defects faster
Comfort operating in ambiguity, with a bias for action and the judgment to know when precision matters and when direction is enough
3+ years of finance, accounting, or related analytical field experience
Bachelor's degree in business, finance, accounting, tax, economics, or a related analytical field
4+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience
MBA, or CPA
Knowledge of Tableau
Experience working with large-scale data mining and reporting tools (examples: SQL, MS Access, Essbase, Cognos) and other financial systems (examples: Oracle, SAP, Lawson, JD Edwards)
