Job Description

Senior FP&A Analyst managing joint-venture reporting, forecasting, budgeting, and waterfall economics for a data center development portfolio. Translating complex project finance data into leadership-ready insights.

Responsibilities:

  • Own the recurring reporting package delivered to the joint venture partner, ensuring accurate and timely deliverables.
  • Prepare project-level and facility-level P&L reporting, monthly variance analysis, commentary, and distribution.
  • Support compliance certificates, financial statements, and lender- or investor-required deliverables.
  • Track and reconcile capital contributions, capital accounts, and incentive/promote calculations against return waterfall mechanics.
  • Build and maintain driver-based project forecasting models incorporating construction draws, phased delivery timing, and stabilization assumptions.
  • Own the annual business plan and project budget, coordinating inputs across Project Delivery, Operations, and the joint venture partner's asset management team.
  • Monitor actual development costs against budget and escalate material cost or return variances.
  • Partner with Accounting on joint venture entity treatment in corporate consolidation, including consolidation versus equity-method accounting.
  • Maintain the corporate cost allocation methodology for shared joint venture costs.
  • Reconcile general ledger data to joint venture and lender reporting outputs and resolve discrepancies.
  • Serve as the embedded FP&A contact for Legal, Accounting, Treasury, Development, and partner requests.
  • Support ad hoc financial analysis and business cases, including cost-benefit analysis, valuation support, and scenario modeling.
  • Identify, document, and resolve data quality issues in source systems and reporting outputs.
  • Contribute to joint venture reporting processes, templates, and standards.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Real Estate Finance, or related field.
  • 5–7+ years of FP&A, financial analysis, project/real estate finance, or relevant accounting experience.
  • Advanced Excel proficiency, including financial modeling, XLOOKUP, INDEX/MATCH, pivot tables, and multi-source data consolidation.
  • Power Query experience strongly preferred.
  • Working knowledge of private equity and joint venture structures, including capital contributions, preferred return and profit-split waterfalls, capital accounts, and incentive/promote calculations.
  • Ability to translate legal and partnership agreement language into documented finance processes and reporting calendars.
  • Strong understanding of GAAP accounting principles, including accruals, prepaids, depreciation, capitalization policy, and CapEx versus OpEx classification.
  • Experience managing external-facing, contractually driven reporting deadlines.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills for complex, multi-entity financial data and executive-ready reporting.
  • Ability to manage multiple workstreams independently and prioritize under tight deadlines.
  • Experience in capital-intensive industries such as data centers, real estate, energy, infrastructure, or project-based environments strongly preferred.
  • Exposure to joint venture, fund, or PE-backed reporting obligations is a meaningful differentiator.
  • Demonstrated ownership of a full reporting cycle: close, variance analysis, commentary, and distribution.
  • Experience building or maintaining project-, property-, or site-level P&L models preferred.
  • Prior ownership of a budget or forecasting process for one or more cost centers.
  • Proficiency with ERP or financial reporting systems; NetSuite experience a plus.
  • Experience at a PE-backed, joint-venture-structured, or high-growth company a plus.
