Senior Financial Analyst

A bit about this role:

We're looking for an experienced finance professional to take responsibility for the full cost picture across markets, products, segments, and legal entities. You will have the opportunity to work cross functionally with a wide group of internal stakeholders to ensure our planning, cost accounting and reporting give leadership a clear, trustworthy view of where our dollars go and why, so that we can deliver on our core values of treating every member as family.

This opportunity is perfect for someone who is comfortable owning an allocation methodology and driver-based forecast model, and is able to draw the big picture from detailed analytics. You will not inherit a mature process, you will be shaping one. This role will report to our Director Financial Planning and Analysis.

• Building and maintaining driver-based financial models that connect membership growth, staffing decisions, and vendor spend to the P&L and cash.
• Architect and scale the cost accounting framework, including expense allocation methodologies across all business segments and legal entities.
• Building business cases and ROI analyses, vendor and build-versus-buy decisions, market expansion and headcount investment, and then holding those investments accountable to what was modeled.
• Deliver market and product-level profitability analysis to guide leadership on margin optimization.
• Direct cost accounting policies, controls, and reporting to drive financial and growth objectives.
• Supporting the financial mechanics of intercompany arrangements, including cost allocation, transfer pricing inputs, and reporting requested by internal and third-party counter parties.
• Supporting or owning aspects of the monthly close related to cost, including accruals, allocations, variance analysis against budget and forecast, and management reporting packages that lead with drivers rather than restated numbers.
• Being an integral part of a cross-functional team focused on continuous improvement and standardization of policy, process and control, with a heavy emphasis on technology development and shifting our reporting out of spreadsheets and into scalable, self-service tooling.
• Supporting our market, network, and clinical teams with the education, tools, analysis, and supplemental reporting they need to manage their own cost performance.
• Ownership and responsibility for satisfying applicable audit, examination and other regulatory or compliance related inquiries and requests.

• A minimum of 5-10 years of finance and/or accounting experience.
• Demonstrated hands-on cost accounting experience including allocation methodology, cost center design, unit cost or product-level costing, and the discipline to defend how a number was built.
• Core FP&A or accounting experience: cost accounting, budgeting, forecasting, long-range planning, variance analysis, and management reporting.
• Advanced financial modeling skills, including comfort working with large and imperfect data sets, AI, and/or a BI platform
• Deep understanding of ERP or planning systems, or in standing up a cost allocation model from scratch.
• The ability to explain financial results clearly to people who do not work in finance, and to challenge assumptions respectfully when the numbers do not support the story.
• The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, startup environment where priorities shift and process is something you help build.

• Healthcare services and/or health insurance experience (preferred).
• An undergraduate and/or graduate degree in accounting, finance, business, or a related field.
