Senior Data Analyst - Finance

Portland, Oregon, USA

We are a global team of innovators and pioneers dedicated to shaping the future of observability. At New Relic, we build an intelligent platform that empowers companies to thrive in an AI-first world by giving them unparalleled insight into their complex systems. As we continue to expand our global footprint, we're looking for passionate people to join our mission. If you're ready to help the world's best companies optimize their digital applications, we invite you to explore a career with us!

Your opportunity

We are seeking an experienced, highly collaborative Senior Data Analyst to be the analytical backbone of our finance team. This is a high-impact, hybrid role for a professional who "speaks finance." You will be the go-to data expert for senior leadership, using expert SQL skills to solve urgent, ad-hoc requests. Simultaneously, you will be the architect of our future, building robust financial dashboards in Tableau to move the organization beyond static Excel. This role is perfect for a proactive, technical analyst who wants to own the full spectrum of financial data.


What you'll do

  • Act as a key data partner to finance functional leaders and serve as the primary point of contact for ad-hoc data and analysis requests from senior finance leadership.
  • Conduct complex variance analysis and perform ad-hoc data analysis on large, complex datasets to identify the underlying drivers of business performance.
  • Develop and maintain robust, driver-based financial models to support long-range planning and scenario analysis.
  • Design, build, and maintain a suite of robust financial dashboards and reports in Tableau, moving finance reporting from static Excel sheets to automated, interactive solutions.
  • Prepare and deliver comprehensive monthly and quarterly management reporting packages that provide clear, actionable insights.
  • Partner with Accounting, Finance Operations, and FP&A to improve data integrity, financial reporting accuracy, and month-end close efficiency.
  • Collaborate closely with the accounting team during the month-end close process to ensure accurate accruals and financial reporting.
  • Proactively identify opportunities to enhance the efficiency of existing financial planning and reporting processes.
  • Write and optimize complex SQL queries on the fly to extract, join, and synthesize data from multiple sources (ERP, CRM, expense systems, data warehouse).
  • Collaborate with Analytics and Data Engineering teams to define data requirements, build robust data pipelines, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of financial data sources.

This role requires

  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Data Science, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
  • 5+ years in a data analyst, business analyst, or financial analyst role.
  • A strong understanding of core finance and accounting principles (P&L, OpEx, CapEx, accruals, journal entries). You must be able to "speak finance" and understand the questions you're being asked.
  • Expert-level proficiency in SQL. You must be able to write complex, multi-table joins, aggregations, and window functions from scratch with speed and accuracy.
  • Exceptional analytical skills, a "detective" mindset, and a strong sense of data curiosity.
  • Strong experience using a BI tool (Tableau, Looker) to explore data and visualize findings.
  • A proactive, self-starting attitude with a high sense of urgency and the proven ability to manage multiple, competing priorities and deadlines in a fast-paced environment without sacrificing accuracy.

Bonus points if you have

  • Direct experience querying data from large-scale ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite).
  • Experience with financial planning software (e.g., Anaplan)
  • Familiarity with cloud data warehouses (e.g., Snowflake, Redshift).
  • Scripting experience for data manipulation (e.g., Python).
  • Prior experience in a dedicated FP&A function.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
