Company Overview
At Motorola Solutions, we're guided by a shared purpose - helping people be their best in the moments that matter - and we live up to our purpose every day by solving for safer. Because people can only be their best when they not only feel safe, but are safe. We're solving for safer by building the best possible technologies across every part of our safety and security ecosystem. That's mission-critical communications devices and networks, AI-powered video security & access control and the ability to unite voice, video and data in a single command center view. We're solving for safer by connecting public safety agencies and enterprises, enabling the collaboration that's critical to connect those in need with those who can help. The work we do here matters.
Department Overview
This is a fantastic opportunity to be a contributor in Motorola Solutions’ growing command center software business. This role will be a finance analyst supporting our Cloud Platform Engineering (CPE) team and MSI's growth into the cloud while collaborating on the integration of a new cloud partner. The person in this role will work closely with business and finance teams to track, report and forecast MSI's spend with its cloud partners.
Job Description
This role will play a key role in helping the Command Center Software business manage R&D expenses and investments and continue the development of our CloudFinOps practice. The analyst will partner extensively with our Engineering and Product leaders to help quantify our product roadmap. Additionally, with the sizable investment associated with R&D and CloudFinOps, this analyst will serve as subject matter expert to planning and tracking our employee expenses, other Operating Expenses (OpEx) and Capital Expenses (CapEx).
