Supply Finance Lead

Our client is an FMCG business, currently going through a significant period of transformation. This senior, permanent role is at the centre of that effort.

The position leads the supply finance workstream of an SAP-to-Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementation across the United States and Canada. For a consumer goods manufacturer, cost of goods sold and inventory sit among the most complex areas of the P&L and balance sheet, and this role owns all of it: standard costing, cost roll-ups, manufacturing and purchase price variances, inventory valuation and sub-ledger reconciliation, freight and landed cost, and inventory provisioning for excess, markdown and obsolescence.

The remit runs from design through build, testing, data migration and cutover, working alongside the North America Controller, a Group finance transformation team at corporate headquarters, supply chain and operations colleagues, and external implementation consultants.

The right candidate will be a qualified accountant (CPA, CA or equivalent) with five to eight years of cost and inventory accounting experience, ideally in FMCG, CPG or manufacturing. Deep hands-on knowledge of standard costing, variance analysis and inventory accounting is essential, as is proven involvement in an ERP implementation. Prior experience leading a team or managing external delivery partners is expected.

Dynamics 365 familiarity and private equity exposure are both advantages.

The role reports into the Finance Lead for ERP Transformation, is hybrid with three days a week in the office and carries a base salary of $160,000 to $190,000 with a performance bonus.
