Department Overview
This role will play a key role in helping the Command Center Software business manage R&D expenses and investments and continue the development of our CloudFinOps practice. The analyst will partner extensively with our Engineering and Product leaders to help quantify our product roadmap. Additionally, with the sizable investment associated with R&D and CloudFinOps, this analyst will serve as subject matter expert to planning and tracking our employee expenses, other Operating Expenses (OpEx) and Capital Expenses (CapEx). Primary areas of focus will include employee hiring and expense tracking, R&D planning, product roadmap quantification (in partnership with our business partners and other Finance teams) and business case facilitation. In CloudFinOps, the analyst will partner with engineering and procurement teams to monitor and report on spend and activity, forecast cloud migration expenses and assist our engineering partners with various ad hoc requests.
Job Description
Key deliverables will include assistance in the creation of rolling forecasts of these areas as well as monthly and quarterly business reviews in addition to ad hoc business case analyses. Where possible the optimal outcome will be for the analyst to own many of these deliverables with support from their manager.
