• Identify pricing gaps, cost inconsistencies, and opportunities for margin improvement.

• Partner with Sales, Engineering, Operations, Supply Chain, and Finance to understand cost drivers and validate financial assumptions.
• Translate complex financial data into clear recommendations that support business growth and profitability.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics, or a related field.
• 3–5+ years of experience in financial analysis, FP&A, commercial finance, pricing, quoting, cost analysis, or manufacturing finance.
• Advanced Excel skills, including financial modeling, pivot tables, lookup functions, scenario analysis, and large data sets.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to evaluate financial performance, identify trends, and recommend improvements.
• Ability to communicate financial insights effectively to both finance and non-finance stakeholders.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Work Authorization: Must be authorized to work in the United States without current or future employer sponsorship.

Preferred Experience

• Experience with commercial quoting, pricing strategy, product costing, or margin analysis.
• Familiarity with manufacturing cost structures, including direct materials, labor, overhead, tooling, and freight.
• Experience analyzing customer or program profitability in a manufacturing environment.

Why Consider This Opportunity?
