Job Description

How often have you had an opportunity to be an early member of a team that is tasked with solving a huge customer need through disruptive and innovative technology?
The Team: WW Operations Finance is poised for a revolution. Historically, automation and technical infusion has taken a back-seat to important financial functions such as controllership, financial oversight, risk mitigation, and strong investment analysis. Finance is set to be the Chief Story Tellers, and along the way inject machine learning, BI, advanced analytics and technical tools – built to suit finance and business needs.
The Financial Systems and Analytics Team (FSAT) is seeking a Front-End Engineer who can help the team build a new interface for our customers. The ideal candidate will be innovative, have great problem solving, analytical and technical skills. They will own the design and implementation of major deliverables end-to-end. This position requires collaboration with UX designers, product managers, technical program managers, software engineers and partner teams, necessitating a comfort-level with ambiguity and a desire to create, iterate and improve. You demonstrate exceptional customer relationships skills and love to discover the true requirements underlying feature requests. You enjoy simplifying complex problems and tackling tough challenges. If this sounds like you and you are looking for a high morale team that drives results that influence the experience of thousands of finance users and millions of vendors and customers, this is the right place for you.
