*This is a hybrid position that has the minimum expectation to work out of our Downtown Seattle Office one day per week on Thursdays.
Who we're looking for:
This Sr. Financial Analyst role is responsible for analyzing, modeling, forecasting and reporting on the most dynamic and complex expense areas of Rover’s business. As a member of the FP&A team at Rover, you will provide deep domain expertise and analytics support to quantitatively-minded individuals in FP&A and Sr Leadership while partnering with the organization in its entirety. You will develop analysis and financial management by partnering with internal stakeholders, Sr leadership and the Director of FP&A. The right person will be an operational finance agent who will play an integral part in helping further the predictability and financial discipline of Rover’s business.
Why we'll hire you:
- You love forecasting: digging into user behavior and growth dynamics, building and testing models for predictiveness, identifying key inputs, and collaborating with your stakeholders on assumptions.
- You’re a systems-thinker: you automate and simplify repetitive tasks to free up time for insightful analysis.
- You are scary good with data. You look at charts, furrow your eyebrows, and observe that something doesn’t seem quite right. Others see trends; you see outliers.
- You are intellectually curious and stubbornly dig into details to find root causes rather than accepting convenient surface-level explanations or presuppositions.
- You clearly and concisely communicate complex topics to your stakeholders, separating the signal from the noise.
- You are empathetic, emotionally intelligent, and easy to work with. You understand at a cellular level that your stakeholders have jobs to do and decisions to make, and it is your job to empower them to make informed decisions.
- You have a demonstrated pattern of being self-started, self-taught, self-directed, and self-sufficient. When you see something that looks off, you dig into it, find the cause, and implement solutions without being asked.
- You are a hard worker. You have a consistent pattern of hitting deadlines.
You will have the following core areas of focus:
- Forecasting, financial analysis, reporting, and cost management frameworks for the Engineering, Product, and Corporate Development teams
- Revenue modeling and sensitivity analysis in support of new and emerging product offerings
- Cash flow forecasting
- Modeling, analysis, and reporting for Rover’s COGS and variable cost models
- Presenting and Communicating financial results to your stakeholders and executive leadership
- Constantly improving forecast models and reporting processes for higher accuracy and lower maintenance
Your Toolset includes:
- Top notch modeling skills. Demonstrated experience of building dynamic cost models from scratch, with easily repeatable monthly updates and a clear relationship between model inputs and the owners of those inputs.
- SQL data querying - you are fluent, easily navigating through a large data warehouse
- Experience and a passion for fast paced, high growth companies
- Mode, Tableau, Power BI or similar data visualization tools
- Netsuite, Hyperion, Adaptive Planning, Pigment, or other EPM tools
- Fundamentals of financial accounting, analytics and internal customer service
Your Qualifications are:
- BS in Finance, Accounting, Math, Statistics, Business, or Computer science preferred - the main thing is you have learned how to think analytically.
- 5+ years in corporate finance / operational FP&A at either a high-growth tech startup or an established technology company
- Exceptional Excel / financial modeling skills.
