The role offers a unique opportunity to build and enhance financial tools, dashboards, and processes while gaining direct exposure to plant leadership and the CFO. It requires strong cross‑functional collaboration with operations, plant leadership and finance teams to translate data into actionable business insights and support informed decision‑making.

• Monitor productivity performance, including in‑house labor, temporary workers and overtime (OT) hours, with analysis by plant and department to identify efficiency trends and opportunities for improvement.
• Maintenance cost analysis (planned vs. unplanned, by line).

Sales / Cost Of Sales – Margin Analysis

• Analyze gross margin by product, SKU and product category.
• Reconcile net sales vs. COGS Best‑In‑Class.
• Identify optimization levers across raw materials, direct labor, energy and maintenance costs.

Cost Center Analyzer – Plants

• Own the monthly close for all plant cost centers across both U.S. sites.
• Analyze actuals vs. budget by cost center and expense type; maintain cost center structure as operations evolve.
• Verify cost allocations and correct mispostings.

Monthly Results Presentation

• Prepare and present the monthly plant performance review to plant leadership.
