What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Budget Analyst position at Shaga Consulting and Recruiting?
Senior Budget Analyst
This is a forward-looking role. You're not closing out what already happened, you're helping departments plan what happens next.
A higher education client in Albany, GA needs a Senior Budget Analyst to own budget analysis, forecasting, and reporting at the department level. You'll be the person leadership calls before they make a spending decision, not after.
What you'll actually be doing:
- Analyzing budget data and spotting trends before they turn into problems
- Building forecasts and financial reports leadership actually relies on
- Sitting in on planning conversations with campus departments and helping shape the numbers
- Applying governmental and nonprofit accounting principles to day-to-day decisions
What you bring:
- Bachelor's in Accounting, Finance, or something close
- 3 to 5 years in budgeting, finance, or business
- Advanced Excel, not "I know VLOOKUP" level, actually advanced
- Comfortable explaining numbers to a CFO and a department head in the same day
Bonus if you've worked in higher ed or know PeopleSoft/OneUSG. Not required.
If you'd rather build next year's forecast than audit last month's spend, this is your role.
Pay: $25 to $32/hr, depending on experience. Background check required.
