Truss is seeking a Senior FP&A Analyst on a contract basis to lead budgeting, forecasting, and financial modeling, and to serve as a strategic finance partner to project and company leadership.
This role will own the models that guide decisions, drive analysis of project and pricing performance, and provide Truss leadership with a clear, confident read on what’s driving the numbers and how that should impact our strategic objectives.
As a senior member of the finance team, you’ll be expected to set the standard for how this work is done. This includes leveraging AI tools, and automated workflows to make our finance processes more efficient, accurate, and able to provide greater insight.

This person is someone we can count on to…

• Own the budget, the rolling forecast, the financial models, and the project-level P&Ls. These are the numbers leadership makes pricing, hiring, and investment decisions from.
• Educate project managers and executives on how to read financial results and act on them, and serve as the go-to resource on modeling and analysis best practices.
• Understand how Truss makes money: its contract mix (T&M, fixed-price, cost-plus), its indirect rate structure, and the economics of how projects are delivered.
• Improve how finance work gets done, defaulting to AI and automation to cut manual effort and raise accuracy.

This is a full-time, fully remote, six month contract position with the potential to extend or convert. The hourly rate is $55-$60, commensurate with experience. 

The FP&A Analyst will be responsible for delivering successful outcomes in three key areas:

1. Build and run a reliable budget and rolling forecast process that serves as the single source of truth

• The annual budget is built bottom-up with department and project leads and approved by the CFO within first month
