Strategic Finance Analyst

About the role

We are a global cloud infrastructure company focused on compute, networking, and AI infrastructure. Our Financial Planning and Analysis (FP&A) team sits at the center of company-level financial planning and business performance analysis that support executive decision-making.

This is a generalist analyst role with a practical, execution-oriented scope. Day-to-day, the work spans financial analysis, profitability reporting, executive presentation prep, and supporting the monthly FP&A reporting cycle. The team is small and your work and impact are visible. This is a good fit if you’re self-motivated, learn fast, and take pride in turning out clean, reliable work.

This is not a role with a narrow, well-defined scope. This is also not a reporting or data visualization role.  We are looking for someone who can use data to answer hard questions quickly and then communicate those answers clearly to senior audiences. If you thrive in small teams and creative, minimally structured work environments, let us know!

What you'll do

Monthly FP&A reporting

• Own key components of the monthly FP&A report: pulling data, assembling the pack, and ensuring accuracy and consistency across cuts


• Maintain and improve recurring reporting templates over time


• Flag variances and anomalies proactively; don't just assemble numbers, understand them

Profitability and business performance analysis

• Build and maintain profitability analyses by customer, region, product line, etc.


• Support business performance reviews and the FP&A Business Partner in China on planning cycles, reporting, and business unit analysis


• Turn around ad hoc requests from senior leadership quickly; think hours, not days

Executive presentations

• Prepare executive-facing PowerPoint materials including operating reviews, strategy updates, and board materials, working directly with the Head of Strategy & FP&A


• Translate financial analysis and business narratives into clean, structured slides for a senior audience


• Maintain consistency and quality across recurring presentation templates

Data and analytical execution

• Pull, clean, and manipulate data independently; you don’t need a data team to run queries for you


• Work across multiple data sources to assemble coherent views of business performance


• Support the broader team with analysis, formatting, and data preparation as needed

What we're looking for

Required

• Bilingual fluency in Mandarin Chinese


• Solid financial modeling and Excel skills; you build clean, well-structured models and know how to maintain them


• Ability to pull and manipulate data independently; SQL is a plus but not required if you can get the job done another way


• Experience with profitability analysis or business performance reporting, such as customer-level, regional, or product-level P&L work


• Ability to build clean, logically structured executive PowerPoints


• Attention to detail and reliability; the monthly reporting cycle depends on you getting it right


• Clear written communication and the judgment to know when a quick answer is better than a perfect one


• Willingness to work evening hours on a regular basis to coordinate with teams in China

Nice to have

• Experience in cloud infrastructure or a capital-intensive business


• Background in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or a high-output in-house finance team
