Senior Financial Planning Analyst

POSITION SUMMARY

The Senior FP&A Analyst is the primary analytical partner to the Business Controller and a key financial support resource across the company. Reporting to the Business Controller, the role builds the models, reporting, and analysis that turn financial and operational data into insight—so that senior management and the Sales, Marketing, and Manufacturing Operations teams can make faster, better-informed decisions.

• Support the annual budget, monthly forecast, standard cost, cash forecast, and multi‑year strategic planning cycles so the Company operates against a single, reliable financial plan and can anticipate performance rather than react to it, by gathering and validating stakeholder inputs, assumptions, constraints, and timelines, consolidating them into structured budget and forecast models, and by maintaining the planning calendar — mapping deliverables and dependencies and resolving gaps or bottlenecks before they impact the cycle.
• Own the bridge between the demand plan and the financial plan so volume, revenue, and margin assumptions are consistent across Sales, Operations, and Finance and the forecast is defensible at SKU and channel level, by participating in the monthly S&OP cycle, converting the consensus demand plan into a dollarized revenue and margin forecast, and quantifying the financial impact of demand shifts, supply constraints, and import timing.
• Develop and manage SG&A expense projections and allocations to give leadership clear visibility and accountability over the Company’s cost base and spending trends, by building bottom-up expense models by department and cost center, working with budget owners to challenge assumptions, reconciling projections to actuals each period, and maintaining the account and cost‑center mapping through the system transition so prior‑year comparatives remain valid.
• Build and continuously refine COGS and standard‑cost projection methodologies so margin and cost forecasts are accurate, consistent, and defensible across products, plants, and sourcing origins, by maintaining cost models that incorporate material, labor, and overhead drivers as well as landed‑cost components — ocean freight, duty, and tariff exposure for imported product, testing them against actual results, and updating standards as volumes, rates, tariffs, and operational conditions change.
• Consolidate and review product, customer, channel, and plant margins and performance to surface the profitability drivers and risks that matter most to the business, by aggregating margin data across the portfolio, analyzing mix, pricing, and cost dynamics including trade spend, deductions, allowances, and e‑commerce fee structures, and translating the findings into actionable insight for Finance and commercial stakeholders.
• Lead the preparation of the monthly financial reporting package, executive memo, together with materials for banks and senior leadership so decision-makers receive a timely, accurate, and well-supported view of financial performance compiling the required financial statements, KPIs, and commentary, driving thoughtful analysis of the P&L and key business metrics, and assembling polished, brand-consistent presentations and supporting schedules that are complete and internally consistent before distribution.
• Conduct variance analysis versus budget and forecast across the P&L and key metrics to hold the business accountable to its commitments and explain deviations from plan, by quantifying variances into structured waterfall bridges that isolate volume, price, mix, and cost effects, partnering with business stakeholders to gather detailed drivers, and documenting clear, decision-oriented explanations and recommended actions.
