Our team and what we'll accomplish together

 

Join the Finance team at Terrion during one of the most exciting periods in Canadian telecom infrastructure history. As a Senior Financial Analyst reporting to the Finance Manager, you'll be the architect of Terrion's site-level financial intelligence, building a comprehensive, driver-based profitability model that tracks every tower from initial acquisition through lease-up and beyond. This is a unique opportunity to leverage cutting-edge AI and automation tools to create scalable financial infrastructure that drives real business impact. You'll work cross-functionally with Real Estate, Engineering, IT, and Strategy teams to transform how we evaluate, build, and optimize our infrastructure investments.

What you'll do

 

  • Drive automation and eliminate manual processes by leveraging AI tools (Gemini, Python, LLMs) to streamline data cleaning, reconciliation, and financial workflows
  • Establish data pipelines that integrate SAP and Sitetracker systems, creating a single source of truth for site-level financial and operational data
  • Build a comprehensive site-level profitability model from the ground up, tracking the complete tower lifecycle from acquisition through construction, lease-up, modifications, and ongoing operations
  • Create executive dashboards and real-time analytics using PowerBI, Tableau, or Looker that visualize site economics, portfolio performance, and profitability drivers
  • Support month-end and quarter-end close processes with accurate reporting, variance analysis, and reconciliations
  • Prepare monthly and quarterly forecasts with detailed variance analysis, risks and opportunities assessment, and performance trending
  • Lead financial analysis for strategic decisions including site acquisitions, build vs. acquire evaluations, modification investments, and portfolio optimization initiatives
  • Support board communications including IFRS-compliant financial statements and quarterly presentations that communicate complex site economics clearly
  • Partner with Real Estate, Engineering, Commercial, IT, and Strategy teams to deliver insights on site economics and portfolio trends through business reviews
  • Establish best practices for site financial tracking, KPI definitions, and performance benchmarking to drive continuous improvement

 

 

What you bring

 

  • CPA designation with 5+ years of progressive finance/accounting experience, preferably in infrastructure, real estate, telecommunications, or asset-intensive industries
  • Proven experience using AI tools (Gemini, LLMs, Python scripts) to automate financial workflows, data cleaning, and reconciliation processes
  • Strong technical skills including SQL or Python for data manipulation, advanced Excel/Google Sheets proficiency, and experience with data visualization tools (PowerBI, Tableau, or Looker)
  • Advanced financial modeling expertise with demonstrated ability to build complex, driver-based models that track asset-level economics across multiple lifecycle stages
  • SAP or ERP system experience with ability to extract, transform, and integrate financial data from enterprise systems into analytical models
  • Entrepreneurial problem-solver who thrives in ambiguous, fast-paced startup environments and can build solutions from the ground up with minimal direction
  • Collaborative partnership skills with ability to work cross-functionally to gather requirements and deliver integrated solutions
  • Exceptional communication abilities, translating complex financial models into clear executive presentations and compelling business narratives

 

Great-to-haves

 

  • Infrastructure or real estate finance experience with knowledge of tower economics, lease structures, or asset-level profitability modeling
  • Strong IFRS accounting knowledge with experience in financial statement preparation and lease accounting (IFRS 16)
  • Experience with site/asset tracking systems, project management platforms, or construction/real estate industry tools
