What We Are Looking For:

The Strategic Finance team is seeking a self-starter finance professional to help inform strategic decisions for both Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and hardware business models. You will own, drive, and in some cases create new reporting, modeling, and analytical frameworks. This will involve extensive research and hypothesis testing with large datasets driven by insatiable curiosity and ownership, as well as rigorous quantitative modeling that clarifies ambiguity, drives actionable business recommendations, and challenges the status quo.

Exceptional performers will develop exposure across departments and with our executive leadership, as well as find opportunities for subsequent rotations across Stem’s finance organization and opportunities for career advancement.

Experience in a SaaS-based business model is highly desired. Experience in the renewable energy industry is desirable but not required. This role is leveled for a Senior Finance Analyst but we are open to considering a uniquely exceptional candidate at the Finance Manager level.
