We are looking for an FP&A Analyst to help build the financial backbone of TENEX as we scale.

We're looking for someone who is detail-oriented and highly collaborative, a natural connector who can work effectively across every department and level of the organization.

Reporting to the Director of Finance & Operations, you'll have direct exposure to leadership and real ownership over work that matters. If you want to grow with a company, not just support one, this is the role.
