at Omnidian
🏢 About Omnidian
Omnidian is a unique player in the renewable energy sector, specializing in 24/7 monitoring and advanced diagnostics for solar systems. Unlike traditional solar companies, they focus on maximizing the performance and reliability of existing solar assets through data-driven operations and maintenance (O&M). Working here offers the chance to directly impact the sustainability transition by ensuring solar systems operate efficiently, combining environmental mission with financial analytics.
About This Role
This Senior Financial Analyst role is central to Omnidian's financial planning and analysis (FP&A) for commercial and operations, focusing on Gross Margin forecasting, variance analysis of field service costs, and modeling subscription vs. billable revenue. It's impactful because you'll directly influence profitability insights for solar O&M and field services, helping optimize technician efficiency and vendor performance in a fast-growing renewable energy market.
💡 A Day in the Life
A typical day might start by updating Gross Margin forecasts and analyzing variances in field service spend from the previous month, then collaborating with operations teams to discuss technician efficiency data. You'd spend time refining financial models for subscription revenue and Shortfall Liability, ensuring FP&A systems accurately reflect operational metrics in dashboards, and wrap up by preparing insights for monthly close processes or vendor profitability reviews.
🚀 Application Tools
🎯 Who Omnidian Is Looking For
- Has 5–7 years in FP&A with hands-on experience in driver-based forecasting and 3-statement modeling, ideally in renewable energy, O&M, or field services.
- Demonstrates expertise in tracking profitability at the work-order or project level, with a knack for analyzing variances in costs like hardware or performance guarantees.
- Is proficient in Excel and FP&A systems, able to bridge operational data into financial dashboards for monthly closes and actionable insights.
- Thrives in cross-functional collaboration, partnering with teams to surface insights on technician efficiency and vendor profitability in a solar context.
📝 Tips for Applying to Omnidian
Tailor your resume to highlight specific experience with Gross Margin forecasting, variance analysis in field service spend, or renewable energy O&M—use metrics like cost savings or accuracy improvements.
Mention any direct work with subscription revenue models, Shortfall Liability, or reserve modeling, as these are key to Omnidian's financial logic.
Research Omnidian's solar monitoring services and reference how your skills in FP&A can enhance their diagnostics or operational efficiency in your cover letter.
