Responsibilities:
Financial Planning, Forecasting and Modeling
- Build, enhance, and maintain sophisticated financial models in Excel that support forecasting, annual budgets, long‑range planning, and scenario analysis.
- Ensure models are dynamic, assumption‑driven, and easily updated as business conditions change.
- Partner with business leaders to translate operational drivers into financial outcomes.

- Extract, transform, and analyze financial and operational data using SQL, Power BI, or related tools.
- Build dashboards, KPI reports, and analytics that help leadership identify trends, risks, opportunities, and performance gaps across multiple manufacturing sites.

Problem Solving and Operational Support
- Act as a first‑line problem solver—digging into data and processes to identify root causes, not just symptoms.

- Propose data‑driven corrective actions and track implementation progress.
Accounting and Controls Support
- Provide strong accounting expertise to support Controller teams, including month‑end close activities, reconciliations, journal entry review, and cost accounting fundamentals.
- Serve as a reliable back‑up to site or corporate Controllers as needed.
- Ensure compliance with internal controls, financial policies, and audit requirements.
Communication and Stakeholder Engagement
- Translate complex financial outputs into clear, concise insights tailored for non‑financial audiences.

- Professional accounting designation (CPA) or financial certification (CFA) is required.
- 5–10 years progressive FP&A, accounting, or financial analysis experience within a multi‑site, multi-currency manufacturing environment.

- Strong working knowledge of SQL and/or Power BI for data retrieval, modeling, and visualization.
- Demonstrated ability to break down complex problems and identify true underlying issues.
