Trusted globally by thousands of organizations, Tiger accelerates real-time insights, drives intelligent applications, and powers critical infrastructure at scale. As a globally distributed, remote-first team committed to direct communication, accountability, and collaborative excellence, we're shaping the future of data infrastructure, built for speed, flexibility, and simplicity.

As an FP&A Analyst at Tiger Data, you will help run the financial rhythms that keep a fast-growing business aligned and on track. Reporting to our FP&A leader, you will own planning and analysis across headcount, cost of goods sold, marketing spend, and recurring forecast updates. You will also be responsible for turning complex financial and operating data into meticulous, executive-ready materials for our leadership team and Board.

This is a builder role for someone who is excellent at core FP&A work and energized by creating structure in an environment that is still evolving. You will not simply update templates or publish numbers. You will investigate what is driving the business, write clear performance narratives, and help our leaders make better decisions.

This role is remote within the United States. We ideally seek candidates based on the East Coast or able to work substantial East Coast hours to ensure strong overlap with our broader teams.
