You will play a key role in analyzing manufacturing costs and performance, identifying opportunities for improvement, and providing actionable financial insights that help operations make better decisions.

    • Overhead
    • Purchase price
    • Usage and efficiency
  • Investigate significant variances and identify root causes.
  • Partner with operations and supply chain to develop corrective actions and cost improvement opportunities.

Inventory & Working Capital

  • Analyze inventory levels, valuation, accuracy, and trends.
  • Partner with operations and supply chain to identify excess, obsolete, and slow-moving inventory.
  • Support inventory reconciliation and cycle-count processes.
  • Analyze working capital trends and identify opportunities to improve inventory performance.
  • Assist with identifying and resolving inventory costing and transaction issues within the ERP system.

Process Improvement

  • Identify opportunities to improve manufacturing finance processes, reporting, and controls.
  • Support continuous improvement and cost-saving initiatives across manufacturing operations.
  • Standardize financial reporting, analysis, and performance metrics where appropriate.
  • Improve the availability and usefulness of financial information provided to plant leadership.
  • Participate in cross-functional projects involving finance, operations, supply chain, and other business functions.

What We're Looking For

  • A hands-on finance professional who enjoys working in the details and understanding how manufacturing operations drive financial results.
  • Strong manufacturing cost accounting and analytical skills.
  • A practical problem solver who can move beyond identifying a variance to understanding why it happened and what should be done about it.
  • Comfortable working directly with plant leadership and operations teams.
  • Able to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance professionals.
  • Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the broader business objectives.
  • Self-starter who takes ownership and follows issues through to resolution.
  • Comfortable working independently while collaborating across finance, operations, supply chain, and other functions.
  • Curious and willing to challenge processes and identify opportunities for improvement.

Why This Role Matters

This position provides a direct connection between manufacturing operations and financial performance. The Senior Manufacturing Finance Analyst will help plant leaders understand the financial impact of operational decisions, identify opportunities to improve cost and productivity, and ensure that financial information accurately reflects what is happening on the manufacturing floor.

This is an ideal opportunity for a finance professional who wants to be more than a reporting resource and play an active role in improving manufacturing performance.
