We are looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to join our Corporate FP&A team, reporting directly to the Senior Director of FP&A. This role sits at the center of how Twist plans and reports. You will build the models and reports that run our monthly close and forecast cycles, pull together inputs from across the business, and turn them into clear read-outs for the FP&A team, business leaders, and the CFO. The work spans all three financial statements, not just the P&L. You’ll also help us find practical ways to use AI to make the team faster and our analysis sharper.
You will also be the team’s OneStream power user, owning the system and leading how we improve it. It is a high-visibility seat with broad exposure to how the company plans, reports, and makes decisions as we scale.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
Build: models, reports, and systems
Own production of the corporate close and forecast cycle, including scenario setup, allocations, consolidation, and the reporting package
Serve as the team's OneStream power user, keeping the system reliable and the team productive
Build the reporting infrastructure the team uses to review and challenge rolling forecast inputs from the business
Standardize close and forecast read-outs for the FP&A team, business leaders, and the CFO, and support ELT and Board reporting materials
Build and maintain three-statement financial models, tied out and review-ready before they reach leadership
Lead continuous improvement of our tools and processes: turn feedback from the team's monthly post-mortems into a prioritized roadmap, and deliver the changes
Synthesize: inputs and signals into insight
Turn forecasts and actuals into clear analysis of variances, risks, and trends against plan
Support quarterly earnings preparation and benchmarking analysis
Present findings directly to business partners and senior finance leadership, including the CFO
Support ad hoc analysis as needed
Who We’re Looking For
You lead with business judgment, built on a strong grasp of financial principles. You understand how FP&A partners with the business to drive growth, and you think like an owner: every forecast, model, and recommendation should help the company put its resources where they create the most long-term value. You're curious about how the business works, humble, coachable, and motivated to grow. You don't need to be a systems expert on day one, but you should understand how data flows from source systems into a model. If you bring the financial foundation, the drive, and the humility, we'll teach you the tools and the business.
Position Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in finance, accounting, or a related field
3+ years of experience in financial planning, analysis, and modeling
Strong understanding of all three financial statements and how they connect
Advanced Excel modeling skills and proficiency in Microsoft Office; experience with SAP or similar ERP systems
Hands-on experience using AI tools to speed up analysis, modeling, or reporting, and curiosity about where else they can help
Understanding of how data flows between ERP, planning systems, and financial models
Ability to synthesize information from many sources and explain what it means to finance and non-finance audiences, including senior leadership
Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to partner across teams to deliver results
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; detail-oriented and able to manage multiple deadlines
Ability to manage projects and implement new business planning processes
Nice to Have:
Experience with OneStream or another planning / EPM system
CPA or MBA
Experience with Business Intelligence platforms such as Power BI or Tableau
Biotech or manufacturing industry experience
