About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to join our Manufacturing Finance team. This role owns defined areas of the financial planning, cost analysis, and reporting that connect what happens on the factory floor and in the supply chain to financial outcomes. You will work closely with Manufacturing, Operations, Supply Chain, and Accounting partners to deliver accurate, timely, and insightful analysis. You will be the go-to person for challenging cost and variance questions, set the standard for quality in your work, and help develop more junior analysts.

- Analyze the financial impact of design, sourcing, and production changes.
- Support budgeting and forecasting by building and maintaining the manufacturing budget and quarterly forecast.
- Incorporate production plans, headcount, material costs, and other operating drivers into budgets and forecasts.
- Support overhead and standard costing, including building overhead pools and rates.
- Support updates to standard costs and cost roll-ups.
- Analyze inventory balances, valuation, and excess and obsolete exposure.
- Reconcile inventory activity with Accounting.
- Partner with Accounting during month-end close, preparing cost accounting analyses and support schedules.
- Review actuals and ensure alignment between actuals and forecasts.
- Build and maintain financial models for production, material, labor, and capacity.
- Develop and update models that support operating forecasts and decision-making.
- Prepare management reporting, including monthly business review materials, budget vs. actuals, and forecast updates with commentary.
- Partner with operations leaders to understand performance drivers and translate them into actionable financial insights.
- Lead ad hoc analysis, including scenario analysis, ROI assessments, and analysis supporting equipment, tooling, and capacity decisions.
- Coach more junior analysts, review their work, and set the standard for quality and best practices.
- Identify and implement improvements to costing, reporting, and planning processes and tools.
- Document work processes.
- Make day-to-day decisions independently, organize priorities, and escalate blockers and complex issues appropriately.
Requirements
- 4-6 years of experience in manufacturing finance, cost accounting, FP&A, or a related analytical role.
- Hands-on experience with standard costing, including cost roll-ups, variance analysis, and inventory valuation.
- Experience in product manufacturing environments, with a working understanding of production processes, BOMs, routings, and factory cost drivers.
- Strong analytical and financial modeling skills.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel.
- Experience with budgeting, forecasting, and management reporting.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate financial insights clearly to operations and leadership stakeholders.
- Ability to own a body of work end to end, with strong attention to detail and a commitment to high-quality results.
- Comfort operating in fast-paced, ambiguous environments with evolving priorities and multiple work streams.
- Experience with ERP and planning systems (e.g., NetSuite, Adaptive, Foundry, or similar).
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field.
