Contract Financial Analyst

Job Description

We have a position for a Contract Financial Analyst with one of our clients in Atlanta, GA for an initial contract duration of 3 months. No third party candidates considered for this position.

Client is seeking a highly analytical, detail-oriented Contract Financial Analyst to support a focused 3-month initiative to enhance and refine TAs financial and operational models. This role will work in close partnership with the Business Operations (Biz Ops) organization to develop and validate sub calculations for TAs evolving cost-per-hire (CPH) model, including cuts by functional area, hiring level, and business segment. The outputs will directly inform CTAs billback model for growth businesses, as well as long-range plans (LRPs). While Biz Ops will serve as a key provider of data access, modeling requirements, and guidance, the day-to-day execution, analysis, and progress management of this work will be driven within CTA Strategy & Operations. This is an excellent opportunity for a financial analyst who excels in model construction, likes untangling complex data problems, and can operate with autonomy in a fast-moving environment.

Responsibilities:

• Build, refine, and document subcalculations that support CTAs enterprise cost-per-hire model, ensuring consistency, traceability, and scalability.
• Create cost segmentation by function, role type, and level to support leadership decision-making and billback strategies.
• Partner with Biz Ops to ingest and interpret raw data, clarify underlying model logic, and confirm alignment to existing/target-state methodologies.
• Validate assumptions, reconcile discrepancies, and ensure models accurately reflect operational realities.
• Translate financial calculations and model outputs into insights and recommendations for CTA Strategy & Operations.
• Support development of a billback menu/pricing framework for CTA support provided to growth businesses.
• Contribute to CTAs Long-Range Plan (LRP) modeling needs.
• Create executive-ready summaries, supporting documentation, and scenario views that articulate modeling logic and business implications.
• Present findings to CTA Strategy & Operations, Biz Ops, and other leadership stakeholders as needed.
• Manage timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder alignment for assigned workstreams.
• Operate independently day-to-day; escalate blockers only when necessary.
• Ensure outputs are well-documented for future use, maintenance, and integration into larger financial/analytics frameworks.

Requirements:

• Strong understanding of financial modeling, cost accounting, and driver-based forecasting.
• Advanced analytical capability with a demonstrated ability to interpret complex datasets and translate them into meaningful insights.
• Expertise in MS Excel, including logical functions, financial formulas, model structuring, assumption toggling, and data validation.
• Ability to build clear, concise executive-level presentations (PowerPoint).
• Skilled in managing work independently while collaborating effectively across multiple stakeholders.
• Comfort operating with limited structure and working through ambiguity.
• Exceptional attention to detail, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Analytics, Economics, or related field.
• 2+ years of financial analysis experience (or 4+ years for non-degree candidates).
• Experience with cost modeling, labor/hiring metrics, or operational analytics strongly preferred.
• Experience working with enterprise data sets or partnering with analytics/business operations teams a plus.
• Prior exposure to Talent Acquisition, HR analytics, workforce planning, or shared services costing also beneficial.
