About the role

University of Southern California is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to support decision-making through advanced financial analysis, budgeting, and cost accounting. You will enhance budgeting systems, develop cost benchmarks, and provide actionable data to leadership. The role requires independent judgment, strong problem-solving skills, and the ability to drive improvements across multiple systems, including CFTE and data warehouses.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
