What You Will Do

At JOYRIDE, we are looking for a Finance Analyst who will operate as a high-ownership business partner, responsible for turning data into actionable insights that influence decisions across Sales, Marketing, and Operations. This role goes beyond reporting — you will be expected to identify issues, explain performance, and drive action. You will build and own key reporting, ensure data integrity across systems, and hold business partners accountable to financial outcomes.

Own Reporting & Business Visibility:

Build and own dashboards across core business metrics, including financial, sales, marketing, and operational performance
Deliver clear, concise reporting that highlights key drivers, risks, and opportunities
Continuously improve reporting to increase visibility and decision speed

Drive Profitability & Commercial Insight:

Lead profitability analysis across customers, products, and programs
Identify margin risks and opportunities and communicate them clearly
Provide actionable recommendations—not just analysis

Forecasting, Budgeting & Accountability:

Support budgeting and rolling forecasts with a focus on accuracy and accountability
Partner with department leaders to analyze budget vs actual performance
Identify gaps, risks, and areas requiring accruals (including unbilled expenses)
Hold stakeholders accountable to financial commitments and assumptions

Be a True Business Partner:

Work directly with Sales, Marketing, Operations, and Accounting
Help stakeholders understand performance and take action
Challenge assumptions and push for better decisions
Operate as a trusted advisor, not just a support function

Improve Systems & Processes:

Build scalable financial models and reporting tools
Automate manual processes where possible
Drive continuous improvement in data quality and reporting efficiency

Who You Are
