This role is ideal for someone with 0–2 years of experience who has strong fundamentals in finance or engineering, is eager to learn, and can work autonomously to understand problems, ask good questions, and iterate quickly.

• Support EDV program forecasts and budgets across revenue, COGS, Opex, and Capex by preparing templates, updating models, and validating inputs under guidance from the EDV Finance Manager.
• Assist in monthly and quarterly performance reviews for EDV (actuals vs. forecast / budget), including data pulls, variance bridges, and first‑pass commentary on key drivers.
• Help maintain program P&L views and simple dashboards that connect unit economics (volume, price, content, unit cost) to overall EDV profitability.

• Independently navigate data sources (e.g., ERP, planning tools, BI dashboards, Google Sheets) to pull required data sets, reconcile discrepancies, and structure data for analysis.
• Analyze cross‑functional inputs to support EDV decisions, such as:

• Manufacturing and logistics scenarios that affect unit cost and margins.
• Feature‑driven requests to improve usability and customer experience
• Build and maintain clean, well‑documented Google Sheets models that can be easily reviewed, audited, and reused by senior analysts and managers.

• Work closely with EDV Finance Manager and other PD Finance teams, proactively asking questions to clarify assumptions, business logic, and data definitions.
• Participate in recurring EDV program and finance meetings; take structured notes, follow up on action items, and ensure financial implications are captured accurately.
