About this role
Flexport is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to serve as the strategic finance backbone for its North America Sales and Operations teams. You'll partner directly with General Managers and regional leadership to drive forecasting, monthly and quarterly closes, and business planning while maintaining the financial reporting cadence that keeps the organization aligned. This role sits at the intersection of traditional FP&A work and modern technology—you'll own day-to-day analysis and reporting while also leading process automation initiatives using AI tools and working closely with data analytics teams to define and maintain critical KPIs.
The ideal candidate brings 3–5 years of FP&A, Business Operations, or Data Analytics experience, with strong financial modeling and Excel skills as table stakes. What sets this role apart is its technical depth: you'll need hands-on competency with SQL and relational databases like Snowflake, familiarity with AI coding platforms, and working knowledge of large language models and emerging standards like Model Context Protocol. Linux command line and Git experience are highly preferred. Beyond the technical toolkit, you'll need to be a self-starter comfortable with ambiguity, a clear communicator who can operate across organizational levels, and someone who thrives moving fluidly between strategic analysis and tactical execution.
Logistics experience is a plus but not required—Flexport invests in onboarding through its academy program. The role is based in San Francisco and requires in-office presence. The base salary range is $96,000–$132,000 USD, plus bonus, equity, and comprehensive benefits.
