Financial Analyst, FP&A

We're Blue Cat—a Great Place to Work for good reason. Our team solves critical network challenges for some of the world's largest organizations. In simple terms, we manage the systems that keep networks running smoothly, securely, and reliably—the backbone infrastructure that powers digital transformation for enterprises globally. Our Intelligent Network Operations platform delivers and enables AI-driven agentic ops at scale, automating and simplifying how companies manage, secure, and optimize their networks.

But what makes us different is how we work: we believe great work happens in an environment where you're trusted, heard, and supported. With teams globally, we're building a workplace culture that values collaboration and integrity as much as innovation. If you're looking to advance your career with a company that invests in its people, this is it.

Blue Cat is looking for a Financial Analyst to serve as the FP&A business partner for our Corporate Services organization and support the Procurement motion for the company. You will own the monthly financial rhythm for these functions (variance analysis, reforecasting, and stakeholder reviews), support Board reporting and commentary, and provide spend visibility, savings tracking, and vendor-level analysis to help manage company-wide third-party spend.

You will also help us push FP&A beyond the P&L. This means building out the analytics our leaders and our PE sponsor increasingly expect, and finding smarter, AI-enabled ways to produce them. We are a PE-backed company modernizing how Finance works, and we want someone who is excited to experiment, challenge how things are done today, and help build the better way.
