Role description
Senior Financial Analyst - FinOps
Saronic TechnologiesSaronic Technologies is a leader in revolutionizing autonomy at sea, dedicated to developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance maritime operations through autonomous and intelligent platforms.
Job Overview
We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join our FP&A team and help build the financial infrastructure needed to support Saronic as we scale.
This is not a traditional FP&A role. It is a strong fit for someone who sees a manual process, unclear ownership, or a recurring financial problem and immediately starts thinking about how it could work better. You will work across FP&A, Accounting, Finance tooling, and the broader business to improve how Finance plans, closes, structures data, and operates as the company grows.
We are looking for someone who is forward-thinking, comfortable operating in ambiguity, and willing to identify problems, challenge existing processes, and bring recommendations rather than wait for direction.
Key Responsibilities
Finance Process Improvement and Scalability
Lead defined cross-functional initiatives to improve financial processes across Finance, Accounting, tooling, and operational teams
Proactively identify process gaps, unclear ownership, and emerging challenges, and recommend scalable solutions
Drive improvements across areas such as cost allocation, operational data flows, revenue and COGS processes, and other workflows where ownership or processes are unclear
Partner with the Finance tooling owner to translate Finance and business needs into automation and tooling improvements
Support larger Finance transformation initiatives, such as organizational changes, new business units or entities, system implementations, and changes to financial processes or reporting structures
Financial Data Integrity and Infrastructure
Partner with Accounting and FP&A to improve the quality and consistency of financial data used for planning, reporting, and analysis
Investigate recurring data issues, identify root causes, and implement improvements that reduce manual corrections and cleanup
Support governance of financial data tagging and help ensure changes are implemented consistently across Finance processes and tools
Planning, Forecasting, and Close
Drive key components of forecasting, annual planning, and long-range planning cycles, including timelines, communications, templates, and review coordination
Own the FP&A month-end close cadence, coordinating deliverables, reporting, and dependencies across FP&A and with Accounting
Improve consistency and efficiency across recurring planning, close, and reporting processes
Identify opportunities to simplify how Finance operates as the business and organizational structure evolve
What We’re Looking For
5+ years of experience in FP&A, financial operations, business finance, finance transformation, finance consulting, or a related field
Strong understanding of core financial concepts and FP&A processes
Demonstrated ability to take an ambiguous or inefficient process, understand it end to end, and drive it toward a practical solution
Ability to anticipate problems, identify opportunities for improvement, and bring recommendations rather than wait for direction
Curiosity and willingness to challenge existing processes, ask why they exist, and recommend a better approach when appropriate
Strong analytical, project management, and communication skills
Comfort working across Accounting, FP&A, tooling, and operational teams
Experience building or scaling Finance processes and infrastructure in a high-growth, rapidly changing, or transformation-oriented environment (strongly preferred)
Experience with ERP, planning, financial reporting, or other Finance tools (a plus)
Physical Demands
Prolonged periods of sitting at a desk and working on a computer
Occasional standing and walking within the office
Manual dexterity to operate a computer keyboard, mouse, and other office equipment
Visual acuity to read screens, documents, and reports
Occasional reaching, bending, or stooping to access file drawers, cabinets, or office supplies
Occasional lifting and carrying of items up to 20 pounds (e.g., office supplies, packages)
