JOB OVERVIEW

We are seeking a Finance Manager to lead Supply Chain Finance. This role serves as the finance lead for our monthly Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process and owns raw material input standard costs, connecting demand plans, supply plans, and material costs to financial outcomes. You will serve as a direct finance partner to senior leaders in Supply Chain, Procurement, Manufacturing, and Operations.

This is a player-coach role. You will start as a hands-on leader of the work and will grow to lead a team of two to four finance professionals as the function scales. You will spend most of your time leading rather than doing, setting the quality bar, and making your team better, faster, and more accurate over time.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working side by side with supply chain and operations teams, building scalable planning and costing processes, and bringing financial clarity to a fast-moving, high-growth manufacturing environment.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Serve as finance lead for the monthly S&OP cycle. Partner with Supply Chain, Operations, Sales, and Program leaders each month to translate demand and supply plans into financial views of revenue, COGS, inventory, and cash, and attend and contribute to each S&OP review.
• Align S&OP with the financial plan. Reconcile the consensus plan to the budget and latest forecast, quantify gaps and risks, and present scenarios and trade-offs to leadership.
• Own raw material input standard costs. Set, maintain, and update standard costs for raw materials and purchased components, including cost roll-ups, supplier pricing, freight, duty, and other landed cost elements.
• Analyze material cost variances. Lead analysis of purchase price variance and material usage variance, drive root-cause conversations with Procurement and Supply Chain, and recommend corrective actions.
• Forecast material costs. Build forward-looking views of material cost, including supplier price changes, commodity and market trends, lead times, and shortages, and their impact on margin.
• Support sourcing decisions. Provide financial analysis for make-vs-buy, supplier selection, contract negotiations, and inventory buy decisions.
• Monitor inventory and working capital. Track inventory levels, excess and obsolete exposure, and open purchase commitments, and partner with Supply Chain on actions to improve working capital.
• Build and develop a team. Grow into leading a team of two to four analysts and senior analysts by hiring, coaching, setting priorities, and allocating resources based on performance data and business needs.
• Partner with senior leaders. Work directly with director-level and executive partners in Supply Chain, Procurement, and Operations to translate operational
