ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Join FP&A at a pivotal transformation moment — governance framework rollout, EPM platform implementation, and AI-augmented workflow roadmap all in flight. A rare Senior Analyst opportunity to work directly on modernization initiatives while building deep public-company FP&A expertise, with clear runway to Manager-level advancement.

YOUR ROLE

As Senior FP&A Analyst, you will be the analytical engine behind FFAI's corporate finance function — building financial models, executing the monthly close and variance cycle, developing executive dashboards, and supporting strategic ad-hoc analysis for CFO, CEO, and Board audiences. You will work hands-on with SAP, Power BI, and an upcoming modern EPM platform to deliver timely, accurate financial insights across a multi-segment public company.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Own the monthly close and variance analysis cycle — deliver commentary within 7 business days after accounting close, with clear drivers, risks, and opportunities.
  • Build and maintain driver-based financial models supporting the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), rolling forecast, and 3–5 year strategic plan.
  • Develop and maintain executive dashboards and KPI packages in Power BI (and the new EPM platform once implemented); own the data pipelines from SAP into reporting.
  • Partner with department budget owners to gather, validate, and consolidate their forecast inputs on schedule.
  • Support Board materials, investor presentations, earnings-call preparation, and other strategic deliverables.
  • Support ad-hoc financial analysis for CFO and Acting Director, FP&A on capital allocation, cost actions, and business decisions.
  • Contribute to cross-border reporting consolidation with China-based finance counterparts as needed.
  • Participate in FP&A modernization initiatives — EPM platform rollout, process automation, and AI/LLM workflow experimentation.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field — or equivalent experience.
  • 4–7 years of experience in FP&A or corporate finance.
  • Strong financial modeling skills (advanced Excel required; comfort with driver-based models across P&L, cash flow, and balance sheet).
  • Solid experience with monthly close cycles, variance analysis, budget, and forecast.
  • Excellent attention to detail with the ability to synthesize data into executive-ready insight.
  • Comfortable operating in a build-and-improve environment; self-directed with strong ownership mindset.
  • Strong communication skills — ability to explain financial analysis clearly to non-finance stakeholders.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Public or PE-backed company experience preferred.
  • MBA, CPA, or CMA a plus.
  • Familiarity with ERP systems (SAP preferred) and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau).
  • Experience with or exposure to modern EPM platforms (Anaplan, Adaptive Planning, Cube, Vena, Pigment, or similar).
  • SQL, Python, or PySpark for data manipulation is a strong plus.
  • Interest in AI/LLM applications in finance — agent-based analysis, forecast automation, natural-language reporting.
  • Automotive, robotics, or technology-driven industry background.
  • Business proficiency in Mandarin Chinese is a plus given regular cross-border collaboration with China-based team members.
