Senior Operations Finance Specialist

Who We Are

When it comes to what makes a remarkable egg, we know a thing (or a dozen). We’ve learned the ins and outs of what it takes to produce a richer yolk and more flavorful egg; from our beautiful farms and the specialty breeds of birds that roam on them to their high-quality feed, all the way to the stores we partner with to get them to your kitchen, there’s an extra dose of Happy in every step. The proof is inside the shell.

Our headquarters reside in the beautiful Northwest Arkansas Region where poultry farming is plentiful and recreational activities for humans is endless. This role is based in our Rogers, Arkansas office.

Happy hens make happy eggs, and happy numbers keep the whole thing running. This role is for the person who can look at a plant, a pallet, and a purchase order and tell Operations leadership exactly what's going on. You will own the budgets, forecasts, and inventory numbers behind Operations, and turn them into plain-spoken answers our plant and finance partners can act on.

What You'll Do

• Build the plan. Prepare and maintain annual budgets and recurring forecasts for Operations.
• Close the month. Support monthly close and deliver accurate, timely explanations of operational cost variances.
• Follow the dollars. Analyze supplier pricing, invoices, purchase orders, and other operating expenses to spot trends, risks, and opportunities.
• Report every week. Prepare inventory and cost reporting, leadership dashboards, and other recurring financial analyses.
• Own the inventory. Valuation, adjustments, reconciliations, and the resolution of financial discrepancies, start to finish.
• Partner widely. Work shoulder to shoulder with Accounting, Finance, Plant Operations, and Inventory to improve data accuracy and reporting consistency.
• Make it better. Identify and lead improvements to reporting, financial controls, reconciliation processes, and operational workflows.
• Translate. Turn complex financial results into clear, actionable recommendations for Operations leadership.

Requirements

• A bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Five or more years of progressive experience in financial analysis, operations finance, accounting, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, variance analysis, and inventory reconciliation.
• Advanced Excel and data-analysis skills, with the ability to organize and interpret large or complex data sets.
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills. You can explain a variance to someone who doesn't speak finance.
• The independence to juggle competing priorities and take ownership of weekly, monthly, and annual financial processes.
