What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Operations Analyst position at Demco, Inc.?
Turn Data Into Decisions. Partner Across the Business. Drive Meaningful Change.
At Demco, we believe the best business decisions are powered by great insight and even better partnerships. We're looking for a Business Operations Analyst who thrives at the intersection of strategy, analytics, and collaboration.

- Analyzing financial and operations performance to identify trends, understand key business drivers, uncover opportunities for improvement, and provide meaningful insights to leadership
- Building financial models and business cases to evaluate growth opportunities, investments, efficiency initiatives, and cost savings opportunities
- Partnering with leaders across departments to understand business challenges, evaluate financial and operation impacts, and develop data-driven solutions
- Acting as the bridge between business teams, leadership, and IT to improve reporting and business processes
- Leading process improvement initiatives that create measurable business impact
This Role Is Different

- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Business, Operations Management, Data Analytics, or a related field
- 3 years of experience in financial analysis, finance, operations, or a related field
- Fluency in business finance tools including financial statements, income statements, margin impacts to the business
