  • Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, and departmental leaders to align financial objectives with operational performance.
  • Proactively identify and implement process improvements that automate, standardize, or simplify financial and business tools.
  • Provide financial and operational recommendations to business leaders, challenging assumptions when necessary.
  • Drive performance visibility through daily, weekly, and monthly dashboards and deep-dive analytics.

Operational & Strategic Analysis

  • Analyze key performance indicators (KPIs) across fulfillment and distribution operations, including labor utilization, cost per order, shipping efficiency, and capacity optimization.
  • Develop scenario and sensitivity models to assess the impact of business decisions, process changes, and network initiatives.
  • Support labor planning and workforce optimization as part of strategic initiatives across fulfillment operations.
  • Deliver monthly reporting packages with variance explanations, operational commentary, and forward-looking recommendations.
  • Controllership & Data Integrity

  • Own financial reporting for assigned business areas, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and consistency.
  • Identify and resolve complex data integrity issues, maintaining high standards of controllership.
  • Develop scalable, auditable data processes and reporting tools—incorporating AI where applicable to detect anomalies, improve efficiency, and increase data reliability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Build strong partnerships across Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and HR to ensure alignment between financial outcomes and operational goals.
  • Participate in production meetings, business reviews, and project planning sessions to connect financial insight with operational execution.
  • Communicate data and insights clearly—tailoring your message to both financial and non-financial audiences.
  • Continuous Improvement & Leadership Support

  • Serve as a subject-matter expert on financial processes supporting fulfillment operations.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement efforts that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and performance measurement.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that use AI and predictive analytics to enhance efficiency, accuracy, and performance measurement.
  • Support leadership through ad-hoc financial and operational analysis for high-impact decision-making.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related analytical field ( MBA or CPA preferred ).
  • 5–7 years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, or operations finance— within a fulfillment, distribution, logistics, or manufacturing environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze large data sets and deliver actionable insights.
  • Expert-level Excel skills (financial modeling, pivot tables, advanced formulas).
  • Experience with Power BI, Tableau, or similar business intelligence tools.
  • Working knowledge of ERP and financial systems (Oracle, SAP, JD Edwards, etc.) preferred.
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to influence cross-functional teams.
  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and self-motivated, with a strong sense of ownership.
  • Proven experience using AI or machine learning tools to optimize reporting, automate processes, or improve forecasting accuracy.
  • What You’ll Gain

  • The opportunity to directly impact both financial and operational performance in a fast-paced fulfillment environment.
  • Exposure to cross-functional leadership and high-visibility strategic projects.
  • The ability to influence decision-making and shape the direction of our fulfillment and logistics operations.
  • A collaborative, high-performance culture that values continuous improvement, ownership, and analytical excellence.
