The Team

We are a group of dedicated, analytical, and results-driven professionals who are passionate about driving financial strategy and enabling informed decision-making. We challenge ourselves and each other to think critically and grow both personally and professionally.

The Finance team plays a vital role in shaping the financial health and strategic direction of Nylas. We are trusted partners to the business, providing accurate forecasting, insightful analysis, and clear communication of financial performance. Our goal is to empower stakeholders across the company to make sound decisions, achieve strategic objectives, and contribute to a thriving organization – all while fostering collaboration and camaraderie.

The Role

We are seeking an FP&A Analyst to support the financial planning and analysis function as we continue to build a foundation of excellence in finance. The ideal candidate is passionate about solving complex problems, driving efficiency, and delivering data-driven insights that shape business strategy. This role requires a strong analytical mindset, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively across teams.

Reporting to the Head of FP&A, this role is an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in financial modeling, long-range forecasting, and strategic planning. You will partner with various departments to analyze performance, develop forecasts, and provide recommendations to drive the financial health of the business. The ideal candidate is resourceful, adaptable, and eager to learn while contributing to the success of Nylas. 

This is a role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, embraces challenges, and takes ownership of their work. We are looking for someone who is excited to build and grow within the finance team and who shares our commitment to excellence and innovation.

What You Must Bring

  • Educational and Professional Background:
    • At least 2-4 years of progressive experience in financial planning and analysis, preferably within high-growth technology companies or fast-paced environments.

  • Have limited experience in financial planning and analysis. This role requires a strong foundation in FP&A principles and a proven ability to contribute meaningfully to financial strategy and decision-making.
  • Prefer narrowly defined responsibilities and shy away from taking ownership of complex tasks or projects. We are looking for someone who is eager to roll up their sleeves and tackle a broad range of challenges.

  • Struggle with self-direction. This role requires someone who can work independently, manage their workload effectively, and take initiative without constant oversight.
  • Are uncomfortable collaborating with cross-functional teams. This role demands strong interpersonal skills to engage with stakeholders across the company and align financial insights with business goals.
  • Seek a role with rigid processes and minimal change. The finance function at Nylas thrives on adaptability, innovation, and a willingness to improve processes as the company grows.
  • Prefer to work only on the tactical level. While this role includes foundational tasks, it also demands a strategic mindset to connect day-to-day responsibilities to broader company objectives.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
