Key Responsibilities

Financial Planning, Analysis & Modeling

• Analyze historical and projected financial performance, identifying key drivers of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, working capital, and EBITDA.
• Develop scenario and sensitivity analyses to evaluate risks, opportunities, trade‑offs, and key business decisions.
• Support monthly reporting, leadership reviews, and board‑level materials with clear, accurate, and well‑supported analysis.

Operational & Commercial Analytics

• Partner with operations and commercial leaders to evaluate performance, capacity, productivity, backlog, pricing, labor, material costs, and other key business drivers.
• Analyze large and complex data sets, often where source data is incomplete, inconsistent, or evolving, and build practical analytical frameworks to answer business questions.
• Help improve data integrity and establish repeatable reporting and analytical processes across the organization.
• Translate operating metrics into financial implications and identify actionable opportunities to improve performance.

Strategic & Cross‑Functional Support

• Own end‑to‑end analyses from problem definition through executive‑level recommendation, with limited direction.
• Prepare concise, executive‑ready materials that clearly communicate the analysis, key takeaways, risks, and recommended actions.
• Build strong working relationships across finance, accounting, operations, supply chain, commercial, and senior leadership.
• Coordinate workstreams across functions, driving timely follow‑up and accountability where needed.

M&A & Strategic Transactions (Selective Exposure)

• Support evaluation of potential M&A opportunities through financial modeling, data analysis, and diligence support as needed.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant experience in corporate finance, FP&A, investment banking, private equity, transaction advisory, consulting, or a similarly rigorous analytical environment.
• Strong understanding of the three financial statements and how operational decisions flow through revenue, margin, EBITDA, cash flow, and working capital.
• Advanced Excel and financial‑modeling skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables, scenario analysis, and the ability to build models and analyses from scratch.
• Ability to independently work through large, complex data sets and ambiguous business questions.
• Strong business judgment and intellectual curiosity; willing to dig into the details to understand what is driving performance.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex analysis into a clear message for senior leadership.
