It's an exciting time to join Keysight's largest business segment, the Communications Solutions Group (CSG). We are seeking a Finance Analyst – Business Process & Financial Operations to serve as a trusted Finance Business Partner supporting the High Frequency Measurement (HFM) Center of Excellence, one of Keysight's largest and most innovative engineering organizations. Success in this role depends as much on building trusted relationships and influencing decisions as it does on technical financial expertise.

You'll partner directly with Engineering Leaders, Finance, HR, and Procurement to support financial planning, workforce planning, project investments, and strategic business decisions. Rather than simply reporting financial results, you'll help leaders understand what the numbers mean, why they matter, and what actions should be taken next. As the financial bridge between R&D and Finance, you'll provide meaningful analysis, guide investment decisions, and identify risks and opportunities across a global engineering organization.

Success in this role requires strong financial and analytical skills, intellectual curiosity, exceptional relationship-building abilities, and the ability to translate complex financial data into actionable business insights that influence business decisions.
