FP&A Analyst – Corporate Costs & Procurement
ALKUAndover, Massachusetts, United States · Posted 1 month agoDescription
About ALKU
ALKU is a high-growth specialty staffing firm headquartered in Andover, MA, placing elite contractors across technology, life sciences, and government sectors. We are performance-driven, analytically minded, and relentless about making data-informed decisions at every level. Our finance team does not sit on the sideline - we are embedded in the business, challenging assumptions and shaping strategy.
The Opportunity
Salary + Bonus: $80,000 - $95,000
We are hiring an FP&A Analyst to own two critical and interconnected mandates: (1) financial planning and analysis and (2) the company's procurement function by developing processes and controls on vendor management, ROI, and align purchasing decisions with business strategy. This is a dual-mandate, high-ownership role that suits an analyst who thrives in an entrepreneurial environment and wants to move beyond spreadsheets into impactful business influence.
Key Responsibilities
Corporate FP&A Coverage
- Own the budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis for all corporate cost centers including Technology, HR, Finance, Talent Acquisition, and all CapEx spend.
- Build and maintain monthly reporting packages that surface actionable insights - not just actuals vs. budget, but the story behind the numbers
- Partner with cost center owners to build a business case and driver-based models for headcount plans, vendor spend, and discretionary spend drivers
- Support the annual operating plan process by preparing corporate cost center templates, challenging assumptions, and consolidating submissions
- Conduct ad hoc analyses as directed by the Head of FP&A, CFO, and senior leadership
Procurement & Vendor Management
- Serve as the FP&A point of contact for all corporate vendor spend - own the spend and ensure it is visible, categorized, and rationalized
- Lead or support vendor negotiations on key contracts (software, HR tech, professional services, travel, benefits vendors) with a focus on cost reduction and value optimization
- Build and maintain a vendor ROI framework: define metrics, track utilization, and provide periodic scorecard reporting to leadership
- Monitor contract terms, renewal timelines, and usage data to flag risks and opportunities proactively
- Work cross-functionally with Tech, HR, IT, Legal, and Finance to ensure procurement decisions follow internal policy and are financially sound
- Identify and implement improvements to the procurement process - workflow, approval governance, documentation standards, and vendor onboarding
- Evaluate purchase requests and vendor proposals for financial viability and alignment with operating plan targets
Qualifications
Required
- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field
- 2–4 years of experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related analytical role
- Strong financial modeling skills; fluency in Excel (advanced formulas, pivot tables, scenario modeling)
- Experience with budget/forecast processes, variance analysis, and management reporting
- Demonstrated ability to communicate financial findings clearly to non-finance stakeholders
- High attention to detail with a mindset for building scalable, repeatable processes
Preferred
- Experience in staffing, professional services, or high-growth company environment
- Prior exposure to procurement, strategic sourcing, or vendor management
- Familiarity with ERP or FP&A platforms (e.g Adaptive Insights)
- Experience with BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or similar)
- Understanding of contract structures, SLAs, and vendor performance frameworks
- CPA or CFA certification is a plus
The Benefits
- Equity Plan
- PTO package (plus birthdays off and volunteer time off)
- Student Loan Reimbursement after one year as a full-time employee
- Health and dental care
