POSITION SUMMARY:        

The Financial Analyst I is an entry level role designed for a recent graduate or early career professional seeking broad exposure to enterprise level financial planning and analysis.

As part of Corporate FP&A, this role supports the company's most critical planning, forecasting, and reporting activities.

• Support the creation of monthly dashboards and recurring reporting packages with clear takeaways for FP&A leadership.
• Contribute to quarterly, annual, and long range planning cycles, including data gathering, consolidation, and analysis.
• Partner with stakeholders across corporate functions to translate business activity into financial insights.

ROTATION & ENTERPRISE EXPOSURE:

• Gain hands on exposure across multiple areas within Corporate FP&A (e.g., consolidated reporting, functional OPEX support, planning cycles, strategic initiatives).
• Collaborate with teams across Engineering, IT, Operations, and Corporate Functions.
• Build a broad understanding of how decisions are made and communicated at the enterprise level.
• Develop skills and experience that support long term growth into more advanced FP&A roles.
