Real opportunities. Real impact. Your career, redefined.

(NOTE: A human reviews every application at Oceans , so please apply for only one position and only once a year —if you're a better fit for another role, we’ll route your application accordingly and if we’re not quite ready for you, we’ll reach back out later.)

At Oceans , we help the best and brightest of Sri Lanka to take advantage of opportunities that otherwise wouldn’t be available to them, while supporting entrepreneurs around the world. Our community (we call them Divers) don’t do surface work—they go deep to solve complex challenges and make a real impact. And in doing so, they support bold ideas and expand their skills, broaden their expertise, and grow their careers, all without having to leave family and friends.

As an FP&A Analyst , you'll work directly with entrepreneurs to deliver deep insights that shape strategic decision-making. You won’t just crunch numbers, you’ll tell the story behind them, uncover drivers of performance, and build forecasts that help leadership see what’s coming next.

This role requires a sharp analytical mind, expert-level modeling skills, and the ability to distill complex financial data into clear, actionable insight.
Accountability

Your success as an FP&A Analyst will be measured by your ability to support and influence decision-making through accurate forecasting, robust analysis, and a deep understanding of the business.
Here’s how you’ll make an impact:
Financial Modeling & Forecasting

- Build and maintain detailed financial models to support business planning and strategy.

- Develop robust, defensible forecasts that help executives navigate future outcomes.

- Continuously seek better ways to model and measure business performance.

Variance Analysis & Strategic Insight

- Conduct variance analysis and go beyond accounting data to identify root causes.

- Verify and validate data accuracy, flag inconsistencies, and propose corrections.

- Analyze company-wide data to surface key trends and opportunities.

Performance Monitoring & Ad-Hoc Analysis

- Build templates to track KPIs and performance metrics across the business.

- Conduct ad-hoc financial analysis to support cross-functional needs.

- Support senior leadership with updates on market dynamics and competition.

Stakeholder Support & Investor Diligence

- Field financial data queries from cross-functional teams.

- Play a key role in investor communications and due diligence processes.

Colleagues

Your primary stakeholder will be your client along with the teams they work with. You’ll also collaborate closely with functional groups across operations, product, strategy and potentially more depending on the client you are matched with.

At Oceans , you’ll also receive guidance and support from your Operations Manager, who will help you succeed in the role and ensure that you’re continuously growing and developing in your career.
