WHO WE NEED

HCSS, a Thoma Bravo-backed construction technology leader, is seeking a Senior Analyst, Corporate FP&A to serve as an embedded finance partner to the company's most significant cost centers and a driver of strategic value across the business. This is a senior individual contributor role for a finance professional who combines strong analytical and modeling depth with the executive presence required to operate as a credible thought partner to senior business leaders.
The successful candidate will be aligned to one or more of the company's largest cost domains — including Research & Development, Product & Engineering, General & Administrative functions, and Professional Services — and will serve as the financial conscience of those organizations. Beyond producing recurring analytics, the role is expected to surface strategic insight: identifying margin improvement opportunities, challenging assumptions in investment cases, and helping operational leaders make better economic decisions.
This role is built for a finance professional who is energized by complex business problems, comfortable building cost and margin models from first principles, and motivated by the opportunity to influence outcomes well beyond a reporting cycle. The right candidate is analytically rigorous, intellectually curious, and confident engaging directly with senior functional leaders as a peer.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related quantitative field required
• 3–5 years of progressive experience in FP&A, business finance, investment banking, management consulting, or a comparable analytical role within a SaaS or technology environment
• Demonstrated experience serving as an embedded finance partner to senior business leaders, with a track record of influencing decisions beyond producing reports
• Strong business partnering skills: ability to build credibility quickly with non-finance executives and translate financial analysis into actionable recommendations
• Hands-on financial modeling capability: comfortable building cost models, P&Ls, and allocation frame
