  • Deep experience in workforce planning, including building models for headcount, compensation, and detailed financial scenarios.
  • Proven ability to design and maintain robust data integration workflows using tools like Alteryx, ODI, or equivalent ETL solutions.
  • Comprehensive understanding of modern data warehousing concepts and platforms such as Oracle Autonomous Data Warehouse (ADW), Snowflake, and Databricks.
  • Advanced understanding of FP&A processes, including strategic planning, bottoms-up budgeting, scenario modeling, and financial reporting.

  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills, with the ability to resolve complex system challenges under pressure.
  • Exceptional ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Please note: This role requires candidates to be based in the PST time zone (British Columbia).

Preferred Qualifications
