Description

Job Title: Specialist, Financial Reporting, Planning & Analysis Description: As a Specialist, Financial Reporting, Planning & Analysis, you will play a key role in helping our Product & Technology organization make informed, financially responsible decisions. The Role You’ll wake up each day excited to turn data into insights, streamline financial processes, and support leaders with the information they need to drive outcomes. In your first six months, you’ll strengthen our financial governance processes, improve PO and vendor management accuracy, and deliver clear, compelling reporting that supports both daily operations and long‑term planning. This is an opportunity to join a global, fast‑moving team where your work will directly shape how resources are allocated and how our P&T strategy comes to life. What You’ll Own Lead end‑to‑end purchase order management for the Product & Technology organization — from creation and maintenance to troubleshooting and vendor support — ensuring financial accuracy and operational efficiency. Maintain strong relationships with P&T leaders to ensure accurate receipting, budget alignment, and timely financial governance. Support third‑party invoice auditing and reconciliation, identifying missing information, correcting coding, and strengthening internal controls. Deliver clear, actionable financial reporting by creating visual dashboards, managing datasets, and supporting the design and maintenance of team‑wide reporting tools. Analyze financial data to help leaders understand economic outcomes, key drivers, risks, and opportunities, supporting informed and responsible decision‑making. Contribute to continuous improvement by partnering on process enhancements, service improvements, and better ways of working across Finance, Product Delivery, and Operations. About You You bring a strong foundation in finance or accounting, with at least three years of experience — ideally in a multinational or matrixed environment. You’re skilled in Excel and comfortable learning new tools such as Power BI, HubSpot, SmartSheets, and other financial systems. You’re someone who values precision, thrives in a collaborative environment, and takes ownership of delivering high‑quality work. Whether you’re guiding vendors, partnering with Finance BPM, or presenting data insights to non‑finance stakeholders, you communicate clearly, stay curious, and consistently raise the performance bar. You’re detail‑oriented, adaptable, and motivated by the opportunity to support a team making strategic, high‑impact decisions. What You’ll Get In this role, you’ll learn the inner workings of a global Product & Technology organization and gain hands‑on experience with financial governance, reporting, and operational analysis. You’ll collaborate closely with senior leaders, build expertise in financial systems and data visualization, and contribute to meaningful process improvements. This is a role where you can deepen your finance and operations skill set while influencing work that has real impact across teams, technology investments, and vendor partnerships.
