Job Description:

• The Plant Cost & Financial Analyst supports the Plant Controller in delivering accurate, timely and insightful manufacturing finance reporting.

• The role owns a recurring cadence of weekly and intra-week reports — WIP, inventory transactions, material usage variance, PPV and the plant P&L — and prepares the Analysis of Change (AOC) that explains period-over-period movements in plant performance.

• The analyst turns transactional data into clear explanations of cost drivers and flags anomalies early so the Controller and Operations leadership can act on them.

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or a related field.

• desirable experience in cost accounting, manufacturing finance, or plant finance.

• Understanding of standard costing, inventory valuation, WIP, PPV and usage variances.

• Strong attention to detail with the ability to reconcile data across multiple sources.

Preferred:

• Experience with Oracle ERP (costing, inventory and subledger reporting).

• Exposure to engineer-to-order or project-based manufacturing environments.

• Experience with Power BI, Power Query, or other reporting automation tools.

• Bilingual English/Spanish is a plus.

Key Competencies:

• Analytical rigor: explains the "why" behind the numbers, not just the numbers.

• Ownership and reliability deliver a high-frequency reporting cadence on time, every time.

• Proactive communication: flags anomalies and data errors early, with a proposed next step.

• Collaboration: works effectively with Master Data, Operations, Purchasing and Finance partners.

• Continuous improvement: simplifies and automates recurring work.
