Financial Analyst, FP&A Systems & AI Enablement role | Manhattan, NY | Hybrid
A leading global media, entertainment, sports, and talent representation organization is seeking a Financial Analyst to join its growing finance team in New York City.
This is not a traditional FP&A role.
The position sits at the intersection of financial planning & analysis, enterprise systems, automation, and emerging AI capabilities, offering a unique opportunity to help shape the future of finance within a complex, high-profile global organization.
Reporting directly to Finance leadership, you will play a key role in supporting planning, reporting, financial systems administration, and the adoption of next-generation AI-driven finance solutions.
What You'll Be Doing:
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning activities across the organization
• Prepare monthly and quarterly reporting packages, variance analysis, and management insights
• Build, maintain, and enhance financial models to improve decision-making
• Partner with business leaders to monitor performance and support strategic initiatives
• Administer and support ERP and FP&A platforms including SAP S/4HANA and other cloud-based finance systems
• Drive reporting automation, workflow improvements, and process optimization initiatives
• Ensure data integrity across financial systems through validation, reconciliations, and governance controls
• Collaborate with finance and technology teams on AI-enabled solutions for forecasting, reporting, and financial analysis
• Contribute to the deployment of emerging technologies including SAP Joule, intelligent automation, and agent-based finance workflows
• Evaluate opportunities to leverage AI, analytics, and automation tools to increase efficiency and scalability
Who We're Looking For:
• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
• 3-6 years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, finance systems, or a hybrid finance/technology role
• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills
• Experience working with ERP and planning platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, Adaptive, Anaplan, NetSuite, or similar environments
• Exposure to system implementations, upgrades, testing, or process design is highly desirable
• Familiarity with Power BI, Tableau, SQL, or automation tools is a plus
• Strong interest in AI, automation, and the future of finance technology
• Detail-oriented, intellectually curious, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment
Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Rare opportunity to combine FP&A, systems, and AI within one role
• Direct exposure to enterprise-scale finance transformation initiatives
• Work with cutting-edge AI capabilities being integrated into modern finance functions
• High visibility across finance, technology, and business leadership teams
• Exceptional platform for candidates looking to build a career at the intersection of Finance and Artificial Intelligence
