        Financial Analysis & Reporting Senior Manager – Strategy and Operations (New York)

        Financial Operations
        New York

        The D. E. Shaw group seeks a senior manager to join the Financial Analysis & Reporting (FA&R) group, part of the firm's Financial Operations function. This person will serve as the project manager for a major new finance data platform while supporting the group's day-to-day business and leading its adoption of generative AI. The role offers the opportunity to drive a significant technology project, with regular exposure to senior stakeholders across the firm.

        What you’ll do day-to-day

        • Serve as the project manager for the group's main technology initiative and its primary point of contact for the in-house engineering team, owning delivery in close partnership.
        • Act as the group's business analyst, translating team pain points into clear problem statements and requirements, and supporting iterative design with engineering.
        • Drive the group's adoption of generative AI, including hands-on enablement, and develop practices that teams across the function can reuse.
        • Apply generative AI to everyday work such as summarizing materials, tracking projects, and producing deliverables and visualizations.
        • Own problems strategically, framing them, weighing approaches, and shaping longer-term plans for the group.
        • Work with FA&R leadership and partner teams to align priorities, and manage deadlines and risk across concurrent workstreams.
        • Work across teams on process improvements, with scope to take on additional initiatives as the group grows.

        What we’re looking for

        • A bachelor’s degree or higher and a minimum of ten years of relevant professional experience.
        • Keen business-analysis and product-ownership instincts, including translating team needs into well-scoped, high-impact requirements.
        • Proven experience managing senior stakeholders, including distilling complex information for senior audiences and coordinating priorities across leadership and partner teams.
        • Solid project management skills, with the ability to structure complex, high-stakes initiatives and manage deadlines and risk.
        • Initiative in adopting new technology, with hands-on experience applying generative AI tools to real work and an interest in teaching those practices to others.
        • Advanced Excel skills and sound quantitative judgment, including questioning number and system outputs rather than taking them at face value.
        • Comfort operating both strategically and tactically, with sound judgment on what to own versus delegate.
        • The expected annual base salary for this position is $200,000 to $300,000. Our compensation and benefits package includes variable compensation in the form of a year-end bonus, guaranteed in the first year of hire, and benefits including medical and prescription drug coverage, 401(k) contribution matching, wellness reimbursement, family building benefits, and a charitable gift match program.
