Job Summary

We are seeking a sharp, data-driven Business Analyst to support operational strategy through deep financial analysis and business insight at Boise State University. This role is ideal for someone who can not only crunch the numbers but also interpret what they mean and explain them clearly to leadership.

Working closely with the Controller, the Business Analyst will provide critical support in responding to client requests, evaluating operational changes, and generating insights that drive business decisions. This is not an accounting role - it's about connecting data to action.

Key Responsibilities:

+ Conduct deep financial and operational data dives to identify trends, anomalies, and actionable insights - for example, analyzing the financial impact of location closures or service changes on campus.

+ Build and maintain advanced spreadsheets and data models to track performance metrics and forecast operational outcomes.

+ Translate findings into clear, compelling narratives and present key insights to the Controller for client-facing reporting and decision-making.

+ Partner with the Controller to fulfill client analytics requests, ensuring the data provided is accurate, timely, and strategically useful.

+ Support ongoing financial and business planning through monthly, quarterly, and ad hoc reporting.

+ Continuously refine and optimize internal reporting processes for efficiency and clarity.

Preferred Qualifications:

+ Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Mathematics, Economics, or a related field.

+ 3+ years of experience in a business analysis, financial planning, or data analytics role.

+ Strong understanding of financial principles, KPIs, and operational performance metrics.

+ Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, formulas, models); familiarity with data visualization or BI tools a plus.

+ Excellent math skills and analytical reasoning abilities.

+ Strong communication skills - must be able to explain complex findings clearly to stakeholders who may not have a financial background.

+ Highly organized, self-motivated, and comfortable working in a dynamic, cross-functional environment.
