Finance Business Partner

Finance Business Partner Synopsys $112000-$169000 United States, Oregon, Hillsboro May 19, 2026 We Are Synopsys is the leader in engineering solutions from silicon to systems, enabling customers to rapidly innovate AI-powered products. We deliver industry-leading silicon design, IP, simulation and analysis solutions, and design services. We partner closely with our customers across a wide range of industries to maximize their R D capability and productivity, powering innovation today that ignites the ingenuity of tomorrow. You Are You have spent years learning that the best finance work happens when you understand the business as well as the numbers. You do not just model revenue, you understand why a product line is growing, what customers are actually buying, and where the margin pressure is coming from. You have sat in enough QBRs to know the difference between a forecast that reflects reality and one that reflects wishful thinking. You are comfortable building a multi-year market model, diving into product cost drivers and presenting margin improvement recommendations to a VP without losing your thread. Ambiguity does not slow you down, it focuses you. You ask the right questions, triangulate across Product, Sales, R D, and Manufacturing, and form a point of view even when the data is messy. You care about being a partner, not a gatekeeper. When a product leader asks for insight on pricing or profitability, you do not just pull a report, you dig into the cohort trends, surface the tradeoffs, and help them decide. At Synopsys, you will work on a high-growth business line where your analysis directly shapes investment decisions and growth strategy. What You'll Be Doing
