Job description

Dundee, MI | Hybrid - 4 days in office/ 1 day WFH

A large, publicly traded global manufacturing organization is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst to provide financial analysis, forecasting, and decision support across consolidated and regional business unit results.

This is a high-visibility role partnering directly with senior commercial and finance leadership — ideal for a sharp, self-starting analyst who thrives in a fast-paced, decentralized manufacturing environment and enjoys turning complex operational data into clear business insights.

What You'll Do:

• Analyze financial plan data to identify risks and opportunities and present findings with proposed actions to senior management
• Provide qualitative and quantitative economic assessments on key business initiatives including IRR and Economic Value Added (EVA) valuations
• Support all financial planning activities including monthly, quarterly, annual, and long-range planning cycles
• Analyze complex financial scenarios to provide detailed insight into business drivers and value creation opportunities — gathering and interpreting operational, commercial, logistics, and system data
• Support commercial analytics, reporting, and price and volume benchmarking activities
• Provide corporate finance with information to support enterprise-level analysis and benchmarking initiatives
• Assist with compilation of information required for internal and external quarterly and annual reporting requirements
• Liaise with and challenge regional teams to validate accuracy and completeness of financial data

What We're Looking For:

• Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree preferred in Finance, Accounting, or related field
• 3+ years of finance and/or accounting experience
• Advanced Excel skills required; SAP and SAC experience a plus
• Experience in a large, decentralized manufacturing environment with US GAAP/SOX reporting a strong plus
• Strong analytical and decision-making skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines
• Self-starter with excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Comfortable making independent decisions in a fast-paced environment

Why This Role Stands Out:

• High-visibility role partnering directly with senior commercial and finance leaders
• Broad analytical scope across consolidated and regional business performance
• Large, global manufacturing organization with significant complexity and career development potential
• Collaborative, cross-functional environment with exposure to multiple business units
• Minimal travel with strong on-site team culture in Dundee, MI
