What we are looking for

Aurora's Finance Center of Excellence (COE) functions as an internal strategic advisory team. Rather than sitting permanently within a single siloed function, COE analysts build 360-degree business fluency across Aurora's business and are deployed where their analytical skills and business acumen add the most strategic value, gaining direct exposure to senior executive leadership while solving Aurora's highest-priority growth challenges.

As a Corporate FP&A Senior Analyst, a high-impact individual contributor role, you will directly support Aurora's company-wide financial planning and reporting processes — partnering with functional executive leaders across the organization to build budgets, manage capital allocation, and deliver key analytical deliverables for C-suite and Board-level decisions. We're looking for a self-motivated analyst who excels at translating complex operational details into clear financial narratives for executive audiences.

In this role, you will

Drive the consolidated company-wide annual budget, quarterly re-forecasts, and long-range financial planning (3-statement modeling) across corporate and operating functions;

Partner directly with department leaders to build, maintain, and optimize operational expenditure (Opex), Capital Expenditure (Capex), and Headcount drivers;

Prepare comprehensive variance analysis (Actuals vs. Plan), trend reports, and operational insight packages for executive leadership during monthly and quarterly close cycles;

Support the preparation of quarterly Board of Directors presentations, executive financial decks, and quarterly earnings support materials;

Establish, monitor, and refine company-wide corporate financial KPIs to identify efficiency opportunities and optimize operating leverage;

Present corporate financial performance, variance drivers, and capital allocation recommendations to Finance and operational leadership;

Review FP&A SOPs, financial governance workflows, and budgeting systems to implement scalable best practices across the organization;

Drive system automation, data integrity, and model integration across corporate FP&A planning platforms (e.g., Pigment) and accounting systems (e.g., Net Suite);

As a member of the Finance COE, flex across high-impact concurrent projects and strategic finance work streams as corporate priorities evolve.

5+ years of relevant experience in Corporate FP&A, Strategic Finance, or Investment Banking/Corporate Finance at a public or high-growth company; public company experience with quarterly reporting cycles required;

Strong proficiency in corporate budgeting, 3-statement financial modeling, variance analysis, and accounting consolidation principles;

Proven track record of partnering with cross-functional executive stakeholders to manage budgets and streamline planning workflows;
