The Finance Manager will play a key role in supporting the financial performance of the Company’s Distribution Company focused on Tomatoes, Peppers and Cucumbers product categories. This role requires close collaboration with the S&OP executive team, supply chain/procurement, sales/marketing, and category management and demands quick turnaround of financial information to support business decisions.

• Develop and maintain financial models to support strategic initiatives for supply planning. Partner with the Senior Director of Finance to tailor analysis to business needs—ranging from high-level assessments to detailed SKU/pack-level insights. Leverage data such as acreage, yield, pricing, grower compensation, and cost structures to deliver actionable recommendations. Turnaround typically 24-48 hours for requests made once or twice a week.

• Prepare financial information for customer bid processes with major customers (e.g., Sam’s, Costco), ensuring competitive and well-informed pricing strategies. Identify DCs and SKUs for bids, and use internal metrics to determine best pricing for customers. Bids are typically monthly and take a couple of days to compile.
• Assist in investigating weekly variances and addressing inquiries from the weekly Vitals process and month-end product-level reporting. Validate sales prices and grower pay estimates by cross-referencing to underlying actuals and other applications (Anaplan/Targit) to ensure consistency with expectations. Contribute to clear business commentary for weekly Vitals summaries and monthly/quarterly leadership reports.
