Key Responsibilities

• Drive the annual planning cycle and consolidate financial projections

• Read the AR aging like a weather map and act before storms hit
• Chase down unreconciled items until the subledger ties to the GL
• Translate Internal Audit dashboards into plain language for non-finance leaders
• Stress-test the annual budget against three results-oriented demand scenarios
• Pair Internal Audit forecasting with a spirited-and-grounded review of the downside case

What You'll Bring

• Meticulous attention to detail across every deliverable
• Comfort with a PepsiCo pace that rarely sits still
• Resilience measured across 5 years of finance cycles
• Proven leadership experience guiding mid-level-level initiatives
• Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel

Anchored in Wilmington, NC, PepsiCo designs the kind of scrappy-but-steady systems that finance teams quietly depend on every single day. Giving and receiving direct feedback is a skill we practice openly across every level.

We value work-life balance, so expect $66,000 - $100,000, flexible hours, paid sabbaticals, and a supportive mentoring program.
