• Senior Financial Operations Analyst

    Aston Carter (New York, NY)


    Immediately Hiring: Senior FinOps Analyst

     

    The Senior FinOps Analyst role has been open for about two months, primarily due to rapid organizational growth and the company’s need to scale its U.S.-based FinOps operations. Here are the key drivers:

    Description:

    + 1. Building Out FinOps Operations in the U.S.

    + This client is expanding its FinOps presence beyond Portugal (where the existing 8-person team sits) and is actively growing its U.S. footprint. This role is the first meaningful FinOps hire in the U.S., positioned to support future team expansion.

    + 2. Increasing Need for Automation & Scalability

    + The company’s transaction volume and product complexity are growing. They need someone who can:

    + Automate reconciliations

    + Build scalable processes

    + Integrate AI into daily operations

    + Reduce manual workload and risk

    + This requires a hands-on, experienced operator, which has been hard to find.

    + 3. Prior Candidates Haven’t Met the Bar

    + They’ve had limited quality applicants so far—mostly lacking:

    + True automation/AI implementation experience

    + Progression / leadership potential

    + Curiosity and ability to navigate complex systems

    + Strong FinOps or financial operations background

    + 4. Role Is Prime for Growth

    + This position will likely have 1–2 direct reports in the future. They need someone with both:

    + Strong hands-on skills.

    + The ability to step into light management as the team grows.

    + 5. Crypto Experience Is a Plus, Not a Must

    + The ideal background includes general finance/banking plus a curiosity for fintech and crypto, but the mix makes the target profile more specific.

    + 6. Very Low Turnover → Hiring Is Growth-Driven, Not Replacing
