Financial Modeling Engineer

Kernel — the world's largest producer and exporter of sunflower oil and a key supplier of agricultural products from the Black Sea region to global markets — is looking for a Financial Modeling Engineer to join our FP&A team.

This role sits at the intersection of financial modeling, FP&A, and AI. You'll own the financial models and forecasts that drive management decision-making, while building the next generation of FP&A processes — where AI handles the routine work, not people.

We're looking for someone who already builds with AI and wants to go further: deepening these skills and applying them at scale in a large business.

What you'll do:

• Develop and maintain financial models forecasting performance across business divisions
• Run scenario analysis and sensitivity testing on key assumptions
• Analyze investment projects and prepare materials for investment decisions
• Build AI-powered solutions (prompts, skills, agents) for FP&A processes — forecasting, scenario modeling, variance analysis, commentary generation
• Turn dashboards and reports into actionable insights for leadership
• Distill large volumes of analytics into decision-ready formats
• Identify manual, repetitive FP&A processes and automate them end-to-end — tracking impact through hours saved, faster reporting, and fewer errors

What we're looking for:

• 3+ years of experience in financial modeling and investment analysis
• Advanced Excel skills — building structured, scalable financial models
• CFA Level 1 (minimum, completed)
• Experience with Power BI and Power Query for data transformation and visualization
• Strong motivation to advance AI adoption in financial modeling and FP&A
• Ability to validate AI-generated outputs for accuracy against source data
• Experience with at least one low-code automation platform (Power Automate, n8n, Zapier)

Nice to have:

• Daily hands-on use of AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) in your workflow
• Experience building AI agents or automations deployed in real business processes
• Experience connecting AI to internal systems via MCP
• Background in Big 4, consulting, or investment banking
• CFA Level 2–3 completed

What we offer:

• Official employment
• Competitive salary with regular reviews and clearly defined bonus terms
• Draft exemption (military reservation) for employees
• Free training and professional development
• Downtown office with a shelter
• Medical insurance
