Their mission to empower sustainable energy through advanced analytics and proactive maintenance makes them a unique player in the clean tech space.

About This Role

As Senior Financial Analyst, Corporate FP&A, you will own the corporate financial model and integrated P&L, driving monthly and quarterly forecasts across COGS and OpEx. Your insights will directly shape executive decisions, board presentations, and quarterly business reviews. This role is critical for translating complex financial data into strategic recommendations that fuel growth and operational efficiency.

๐Ÿ’ก A Day in the Life

A typical day starts with reviewing the latest operational data to update the financial model, then collaborating with department heads to refine forecasts. You'll spend time analyzing variances, preparing slides for an upcoming QBR, and presenting findings to the CFO. Afternoon might involve deep-diving into a specific cost driver or modeling scenarios for a new strategic initiative.

๐ŸŽฏ Who Omnidian Is Looking For

  • 8+ years of FP&A or corporate finance experience with a proven track record in building and owning integrated P&L models
  • Expert-level Excel skills and experience with corporate planning tools (e.g., Adaptive Insights, Anaplan) to handle complex forecasting
  • Ability to analyze financial performance, identify key drivers, and present actionable insights to senior leadership
  • Experience in a high-growth or clean energy company, with understanding of COGS and OpEx dynamics in a service-oriented business

Quantify your impact in previous FP&A rolesโ€”e.g., 'Improved forecast accuracy by 15%' or 'Reduced OpEx variance by 20%'

4

Showcase your board-level reporting experience by including a sample slide or summary from a past QBR

5

Research Omnidian's business model (monitoring-as-a-service) and be ready to discuss how FP&A can support subscription-based revenue recognition

โœ‰๏ธ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
