Role Description

Form Energy is hiring a Senior Business Intelligence Developer to design, develop, and launch new data models and analytical tools from the ground-up, focusing on detailed and complex financial and operational questions that directly reflect and impact overall Company priorities and initiatives. This role requires strong technical skills, deep understanding of financial operations & accounting concepts, and project management skills to help drive multiple projects focused on improving Form Energy’s financial management and business operations. The candidate must be a “hand’s on” contributor; who enjoys challenges and thrives in a demanding and sometimes under-developed environment.

This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and be part of the growth of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission!

This role is hybrid (3x per week) from one of our locations.

What you'll do:

In this process, you will gain exposure and deep understanding of a wide range of financial and operational data sets with various degrees of interoperability. Part of the challenge will be to resolve these potential issues, while ensuring data integrity and accuracy.

• You will serve as a key interface between operations and the software/digital function within Form; partnering closely with the software/digital teams to influence and inform data infrastructure.

• Writing and maintaining the documentation for Business Intelligence solutions, including creating functional specifications, translating business requirements into technical requirements, and creating data dictionaries.
