As a Financial Analyst, Sr Staff in the Performance and Transformation Office (PPTO), your role ensures financial rigor in the transformation process, identifies portfolio-wide opportunities, and develops relationships with leadership across the organization.

The Financial Analyst, Sr Staff reports to the Senior Manager of PPTO Value Realization. Your primary objective is to elevate transformation capabilities across the enterprise. The role requires a good understanding of financial principles and a strong understanding of the different cost categories (O&M, capital, clearings, etc).

• Own the financial rigor and stage gate approval process, working with initiative owners and workstream leaders to validate assumptions and financial models.

• Develop workbooks and dashboards using our transformation platform to translate complex financial data into actionable insights for PPTO leadership, Workstream Sponsors, and Initiative Owners.
• Assess gaps in expected value realization and surface opportunities to improve outcomes, turning analytics into enterprise action.

• Elevate financial acumen across Entergy by working hands-on with leaders and teams to strengthen how they frame financial cases. Help teams understand cost categories, baseline logic, and impact measurement.
• Develop process and methodology improvements by continuously refining how PPTO evaluates and monitors strategic initiatives. Your insights drive systemic improvement.
