Job responsibilities

• Partner with Finance and business stakeholders to solve problems using strong business and data knowledge, disciplined analysis, and clear communication.
• Deliver fast-turnaround insights for initiatives, ad hoc requests, and urgent "fire drills," while maintaining quality and transparency around assumptions and limitations.
• Own ambiguous, non-routine requests where requirements may be incomplete and the solution path is not obvious.
• Produce strong first-pass deliverables quickly (the "80% rule") and iterate rapidly based on feedback and new information.
• Conduct deep-dive research into underlying data (definitions, trends, behaviors, code/flag logic, and compilation methods) to ensure accuracy and readiness for high-visibility work.
• Continuously reprioritize as business needs shift; manage time effectively to maintain throughput in a fast-paced environment.
• Operate within a shared analyst pool by supporting teammates when demand spikes and helping maintain consistent service levels across requests.
• Identify and drive improvements by enhancing, automating, simplifying, and strengthening processes and outputs; challenge the status quo constructively.
• Analytical rigor and attention to detail: validates findings, documents sources, and clearly communicates implications.
• Team-first mindset: accountable individually while committed to shared outcomes and supporting others when needed.
• Continuous improvement orientation: consistently looks for incremental ways to add value beyond maintaining the status quo.

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills:

• End-to-end researcher: investigates problems methodically rather than relying on surface-level signals.
• Independent, proactive self-starter: tests hypotheses and advances work without needing a fully defined path.
• Creative problem-solver: applies practical thinking and knows when the simplest explanation is most likely correct.
• Strong judgment and systems thinking: anticipates downstream impacts; communicates risks, dependencies, and tradeoffs early.
• Adaptable and resilient: adjusts quickly to changes in priorities, data, and tools.
• Experience in a Finance/Accounting environment.
• Intermediate SQL query-writing capability.
• Moderate to advanced Alteryx experience.
• Demonstrated knowledge of one or more BI/data concepts such as ETL, data modeling, reporting automation, and/or dashboarding.
