Senior Financial Analyst

About the role

This Senior Financial Analyst role focuses on strategic finance and planning within Blockstream's Consumer Products and Enterprise Solutions. The position involves leading forecasting, annual planning, and scenario modeling. A key part of the work includes building and maintaining financial models for fundraising, M&A evaluations, and strategic decisions, as well as preparing board materials and investor reports by translating unit economics and Bitcoin-native metrics into clear narratives.

The role emphasizes integrating AI into financial operations. This includes designing and deploying AI-assisted workflows to automate FP&A processes like variance analysis and reporting. The analyst will identify opportunities for large language models to replace low-value analytical tasks and build the necessary infrastructure to implement these changes, aiming to enhance efficiency and accuracy in financial analysis.

Success in this position means acting as a business partner across the company. This involves collaborating with business unit leaders to analyze the return on investment for infrastructure and new product initiatives. The analyst will also develop pricing frameworks for various crypto services and hardware, and translate both on-chain data and traditional financial information into actionable insights that guide operational decisions for the executive team.

The salary for this role ranges from $120,000 to $150,000 USD, depending on skills and experience, and includes equity grants and comprehensive benefits.
