Senior Financial Analyst, Headcount Planning

Role description

Role Overview

Crusoe's Finance team is looking for a Senior Financial Analyst to own headcount and operating expense (OpEx) finance across the company. This role is the single source of truth for how many people we have, how many we’re planning to hire, and what we’re spending outside of capital projects — and is responsible for the planning, budgeting, forecasting, and actuals reporting that keeps leadership and the business aligned on both.

Headcount Planning & Tracking, OpEx Budgeting & Forecasting, Actuals Reporting & Variance Analysis, Forecast Management, Business Partnering, Process & Systems Improvement, Executive & Board Reporting
