Financial Analyst, Sr

SENIOR FINANCIAL ANALYST, FP&A

At http://Realtor.com , you’ll be a key member of our best-in-class FP&A team, building the financial models that help us understand our business and drive our strategy forward. This role is designed for a curious, resourceful learner and automation-minded analyst who finds professional satisfaction in building clean, logical, driver-based models and maintaining meticulous file hygiene. You will act as a strategic partner to your business area, working side-by-side with leaders to explain the "why" behind the numbers, ensuring every decision is built on a bedrock of accuracy, strategy, and trust.

Strategic Advisory & Business Partnering

• Strategic Business Partner: Manage the P&L for your business units and provide rigorous financial advice, contextualized by company strategies, to executive leadership.
• Strategic Opinions: Go beyond reporting to provide proactive opinions on business strategy and perform ad hoc finance and business case analyses for stakeholders.
• Business Support & Communication: Develop and maintain detailed budget and forecast models, communicating results and insights effectively to all stakeholders.

Financial Rigor & Reporting

• Variance Analysis & Action Planning: Provide P&L owners and Business Partners with budget-to-actual analysis and support managers in the development of concrete action plans to improve variances.
• Executive Reporting: Develop and prepare KPI and financial reports for distribution to senior management, including the preparation of financial package presentation materials.
• P&L Integrity: Ensure the foundational accuracy of your P&L, including month-end accrual and billing accuracy.
• Headcount Management: Manage personnel costs—often the largest P&L driver—by tracking and forecasting both FTEs and contractors to ensure alignment with operational plans.

Systems, Standardization & AI

• Systems Architecture: Build models, create dashboards, and generate reports within the FP&A reporting system, using several different systems such as Adaptive, Excel, and Gsheets.
• Process Improvement: Identify and lead process improvement projects that result in enhanced internal/external reporting and forecasting, with a relentless drive towards improving forecast accuracy.
• AI-Forward Efficiency: Actively leverage AI tools to accelerate data cleaning, audit formulas, and streamline documentation, reclaiming time for deeper analysis.
• File & Data Hygiene: Maintain a gold standard for organization, including logical model flows, intuitive file naming, and clear folder structures that ensure work is documented and scalable.

• Experience: 5+ years of progressive finance experience, ideally in a marketplace, SaaS, or high-growth tech environment.
• Modeling & Rigor: Expert-level ability to build driver-based (PxQ) models. You are naturally disciplined and believe that file structure and naming conventions are a reflection of analytical quality.
• Resourceful Learner: You are a naturally curious problem-solver who enjoys learning new systems and data structures. You take the initiative to find answers and develop compelling data insights independently.
• Detail Obsession: You have the persistence to dig into GL-level discrepancies and the patience to organize "messy" data into clean, repeatable frameworks.
• Professional Judgment: Proven ability to operate with high autonomy while possessing the judgment to proactively loop in management on medium-to-high impact decisions.
• Technical Prowess: Advanced Excel is required. Proficiency with Google Sheets and experience with Adaptive (or similar financial planning tools) is strongly preferred. Familiarity with Oracle, Snowflake, SQL, or Power BI is a plus.
• Modern Mindset: Tech-curious early adopter of AI productivity tools with a passion for automating repetitive tasks.
• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related quantitative field.
