Our portfolio includes the iconic Campbell’s brand, as well as Cape Cod, Chunky, Goldfish, Kettle Brand, Lance, Late July, Pacific Foods, Pepperidge Farm, Prego, Pace, Rao’s Homemade, Snack Factory, Snyder’s of Hanover, Swanson, and V8. Here, you will make a difference every day. You will be supported to build a rewarding career with opportunities to grow, innovate and inspire. Make history with us.

Why Campbell’s

• Benefits begin on day one and include medical, dental, short and long-term disability, AD&D, and life insurance (for individual, families, and domestic partners).
• Employees are eligible for our matching 401(k) plan and can enroll on the first day of employment with immediate vesting.

• If in WHQ - free access to the fitness center.

• "Campbell's Cares" program matches employee donations and/or volunteer activity up to $1,500 annually.
• Campbell’s has a variety of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) to support employees.

How you will make history here

• Performance Management (Monthly Close, Variance, and Storytelling) Analyze monthly actuals versus plan, forecast, and prior year; isolate volume, rate, mix, and productivity drivers. Produce recurring dashboards and ad-hoc analyses highlighting KPIs, trends, risks, and savings opportunities. Translate analysis into executive-ready insights and recommendations, clearly communicating the "so what" to finance and non-finance leaders.
• Planning (Budget, Forecast, and Long-Range Support) Lead the annual budget and in-year forecasts for Transportation, aligning assumptions with operating plans and business priorities. Build and maintain driver-based financial models and intuitive input templates to improve data integrity and reduce cycle time. Partner with Transportation leaders to gather inputs, challenge assumptions, and quantify tradeoffs between service, cost, capacity, and constraints. Consolidate submissions, ensure reasonableness, and document key assumptions, sensitivities, and cost/volume drivers.
• Business Partnering (Influence Without Authority) Serve as the primary finance partner to Transportation and adjacent Supply Chain stakeholders. Act as the go-to resource for transportation cost insights by explaining the "why" behind results, not just the "what." Present recommendations in clear, compelling formats including one-pagers, dashboards, and executive presentations.
• Strategic Analysis & Cost Optimization Support volume and expense planning related to loads, lanes, carriers, and fuel, connecting operational plans to financial outcomes. Evaluate business cases and initiatives such as network changes, productivity improvements, and carrier strategies by quantifying ROI, risks, and sensitivities.
• Own planning and performance management for an operating expense portfolio of approximately $400M.
• Financial Systems, Training, and Process Improvement Develop strong expertise in financial planning systems used for budgeting and forecasting. Create training materials and lead training sessions for cost center managers on system usage and financial processes. Provide ongoing system support, troubleshooting, and user guidance. Identify and implement process improvements to enhance forecasting accuracy, data quality, reporting, and financial controls.

• Transportation leadership within the Meals & Beverages Division
• Supply Chain and adjacent operational partners
• Finance colleagues across FP&A and Accounting
• Cost center managers and system users involved in budgeting and forecasting

• Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills, including driver-based forecasts, scenario analysis, and sensitivities.
• Ability to work independently, manage competing deadlines, and maintain high attention to detail.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex financial information clearly and persuasively.
