Main responsibilities:

The Manager, Supply Chain Finance is Shaw's Supply Chain's forward-looking analytics and decision-support partner, responsible for turning operational and financial data — labor, productivity, transportation, inventory and cost — into clear insights, forecasts and actionable recommendations for Supply Chain and corporate finance leadership. This is a hands-on role that is functionally both FP&A and accounting, with approximately a 70/30 split, respectively.
