Core Responsibilities

• Lead the annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes, transforming them from administrative cycles into strategic planning exercises.
• Ensure the absolute accuracy of our profitability database (COPA) and internal controls, maintaining the foundation upon which executive decisions are made.
• Initiate self-directed deep dives into market trends, customer profitability, and trade spend efficiency to find hidden opportunities for margin expansion.
• Assist as needed with due diligence for planned acquisitions, integrations, expansions, or other special projects.

• A Strategic Thinker: You see the story behind the data and can communicate it effectively to non-finance stakeholders.
• A Systems Power User: You have deep experience ERP/Reporting tool (SAP, BI, or BPC a plus) and a passion for leveraging technology to automate the mundane and elevate the analytical.
• A Collaborative Challenger: You are comfortable "holding the line" on financial discipline while remaining a supportive partner to the Sales and Marketing teams.
• Action-Oriented: You don’t wait for instructions; you identify gaps and build the models or processes needed to bridge them.
