Such growth in a logistically complex, capital-intensive industry can only be sustained by making prudent operational and financial decisions – as such, fly Exclusive is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst within our Finance organization.

This is a perfect fit for an intellectually curious builder who is eager for a dynamic, fast-paced environment and to contribute to enterprise growth and continuous improvement.

Summary and objective

The Senior Financial Analyst owns financial modeling, forecasting, reporting, and profitability analysis — and does it as an AI-first operator. Beyond producing analysis, this person is expected to build the tooling and automations that make the Finance function faster, more accurate, and more scalable. You will partner with the CFO and Finance organization on financial analysis, quarterly forecasts, the annual budget, operating-plan variance analysis, special projects, and ad hoc requests, while continuously replacing manual, repetitive work with durable automated solutions.

What “AI-first” means in this role

We are not looking for someone who runs the same manual workbook every month. We are looking for someone who treats every recurring task as a candidate for automation, and who uses modern AI tools to compress the time between a business question and a trustworthy answer.

Automate the routine — identify manual, repetitive Finance workflows (reporting packages, reconciliations, variance walks, data pulls) and build solutions that run them reliably with minimal human touch.

Build, don’t just consume — use AI coding assistants and LLM tools to prototype scripts, models, and lightweight applications that extend what one analyst can accomplish.

Raise the floor on quality — design checks, controls, and reconciliations into automated processes so speed never comes at the cost of accuracy.

Scale your judgment — turn one-off analyses into reusable templates and tools the broader Finance team can run themselves.

Builds and maintains automated reporting and forecasting solutions that reduce manual effort and cycle time while improving accuracy.
