What is The Role
Elastic is looking for a Senior FP&A Analyst to join our India finance team. You will support financial planning, reporting, and analysis for our global finance function — and help make our finance processes faster and smarter using AI tools. This is a great opportunity for someone who is curious, enjoys solving problems, and wants to do more than just run reports.
What You Will Be Doing
- Financial Partnership — Act as a trusted finance partner to business and functional leaders, providing timely reporting, dashboards, and visibility into operational spend. Serve as the primary point of contact for financial analytics and ad-hoc requests.
- Reporting & Analysis — Deliver management reporting packages, business scorecards, and financial models for senior leadership. Build and maintain dashboards using Tableau, Sigma, or similar tools — with a focus on real-time reporting.
- Forecasting & Budgeting — Support rolling forecasts, annual budgeting, and monthly budget vs. actual analysis using Pigment. Monitor KPIs, highlight trends, and deliver clear variance commentary.
- Core Finance Operations — Own month-end and quarter-end close activities including expense accruals, journal entries, variance analysis, and supporting schedules.
- Technology & Business Transformation — Lead re-engineering of FP&A processes using AI tools (Microsoft Copilot, Claude, Gemini) and Excel. Propose and implement new tools, drive automation adoption across finance, and upskill teams on new ways of working. Use generative AI to accelerate variance commentary, financial narratives, and reporting outputs. Validate AI-generated insights critically before presenting to leadership. Ensure accurate reconciliation across Adaptive, Pigment, Workday, and NetSuite. Maintain data quality as the foundation for reliable reporting and a single source of truth.
What You Bring
- Experience — 5–8 years in a finance function with exposure to business transformation, process re-engineering, or finance automation. CA / MBA / CMA preferred.
- AI & Automation Fluency — Hands-on experience using AI tools (Copilot, Claude, Gemini, or similar) in a finance workflow — an active user, not just someone aware of the tools. Experience with Pigment, Adaptive, or NetSuite is a strong plus.
- Transformation Mindset — Spots manual, repetitive processes and drives smarter alternatives. Comfortable proposing new tools and building the case for change.
- Collaboration & Teaching — Works cross-functionally, shares knowledge, and coaches peers on automation and new tools. Makes the team around them better.
- Communication — Simplifies financial complexity for non-finance stakeholders at all levels. Comfortable working across global teams and time zones.
- Detail Orientation — Delivers accurate, high-quality work consistently in a fast-paced environment.
