• Analyze site spend, identifying key drivers and risks.
• Develop and maintain bill of materials costing for site deployments.
• Support site-level unit economics across deployment and operating costs.
• Identify cost efficiency opportunities across deployments, asset utilization, and maintenance activities.
• Partner with engineering and operations teams to understand cost drivers and performance trends.
• Contribute analysis to cost optimization and margin improvement initiatives.
• Build financial models and analysis to support site deployments, expansions, and capital investments.
• Support deployment budget management by tracking actuals versus plan and highlighting variances.
• Assist in evaluating trade-offs across deployment strategies and capacity allocation.
• Track performance against investment assumptions and provide visibility into ROI.
• Support capitalization, tracking, and lifecycle management of site-level assets.
• Partner with accounting to ensure accurate asset classification and financial reporting.
• Monitor asset utilization and support analysis that informs optimization and investment decisions.
• Track capital spend against budget and support forecasting of future capital needs.
• Partner with infrastructure, engineering, and site operations teams to support financial decision-making.
• Support planning and execution of site deployments and capacity utilization.
• Produce regular reporting on site-level financial performance, capital spend, and operating costs.
• Track core KPIs such as site utilization, cost per deployed unit, and operating cost per site.
• Support reporting on SLA performance, utilization metrics, and time-to-deployment.
• Support cost tracking, asset controls, and governance processes.
• Ensure accuracy and consistency of financial and operational data across systems and reports.

About You

• 5–8 years of experience in FP&A, strategic finance, or infrastructure/cloud finance roles at a high-growth or top-tier technology company.
• Advanced financial modeling skills, including scenario analysis, sensitivity modeling, and long-range planning.

• Track record of deriving insights from large, ambiguous datasets and translating them into clear recommendations.
• High proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets, with experience using SQL and data tools such as Looker or Tableau.
• Experience in AI, GPU cloud, or distributed infrastructure environments is a plus.
