Senior Financial Strategy & Analytics Analyst
VersaPay
What you'll do:
- Build & Automate Financial Reporting: Take ownership of the data pipelines required for monthly financial reporting. You will replace manual jobs with automated, reliable SQL-based workflows that feed directly into Tableau and Board materials.
- Develop Financial Data Models: Work within our Snowflake environment to create and maintain clean, documented data models that allow the FP&A team to intuitively access core metrics like ARR, NRR, and Gross Margin with confidence.
- Executive & Investor Support: Partner with FP&A leadership to support ad-hoc analysis for Board decks and investor inquiries. You will ensure that the data backing our financial narrative is accurate, traceable, and consistent.
- Econometric Analysis: Execute advanced research projects analyzing our annual transaction volume. You will apply statistical methods to identify macroeconomic trends and correlation, contributing to white papers and strategic market positioning.
- Drive Data Adoption: Act as a subject matter expert for the Finance team, helping them transition from static spreadsheets to dynamic data tools. You will identify opportunities to replace repetitive tasks with automated insights.
Qualifications:
- 5+ years of experience in a data analytics role with a heavy focus on Finance, FP&A, or Business Operations.
- Advanced SQL Proficiency: You can write complex queries from scratch, optimize performance, and understand data lineage. You don't just query data; you know how to structure it for others to use.
- BI & Visualization: Strong experience building executive-level dashboards in Tableau (or similar) that communicate financial concepts clearly to non-technical audiences.
- Financial Literacy: You have a solid grasp of SaaS metrics (ARR, Churn, Retention) and financial statements. You can converse confidently with Finance professionals about their data needs.
- Statistical Competency: Experience with regression analysis, forecasting, or econometric modeling.
What you will bring to the team:
- A "Builder" Mindset: You are comfortable working in an environment where processes are not yet fully defined. You see the opportunity to build a financial data engine from the ground up rather than just maintaining an existing one.
- Technical Independence: You are self-sufficient in Python and SQL. You can source your own data, clean it, and model it without constant reliance on data engineers.
- Clear Communication: You can explain technical data constraints to financial stakeholders and financial requirements to technical teams.
What Will Make You Stand Out
- Experience interacting with private equity stakeholders or working in a PE-backed environment.
- Domain expertise in Fintech or B2B Payments
- Background in Economics, working with large-scale economic datasets or indices.
- Experience coding in Python for data analysis or automation.
