About The Role

Suzano is looking for a hands-on and data-driven Financial Analyst to join our team. This role will play a critical part in supporting our paper manufacturing operations by working closely with cross-functional teams to provide real-time financial insights, drive continuous improvement, and enhance forecasting and budgeting accuracy.

What You’re Going To Do

• Monitor daily operational data such as raw materials usage, utilities (e.g., gas), and production inventory to identify trends and budget deviations.
• Partner with operations and maintenance teams to provide financial visibility and drive changes during the month, not just at month-end.
• Support FP&A activities including forecasting, budget tracking, sales performance analysis, and expense monitoring.
• Aid in managing small-scale Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR) activities, providing support and oversight as needed.
• Participate in profitability improvement initiatives and operational efficiency projects.
• Use tools like SAP, Power BI, Altrax, and Excel to analyze and communicate financial information effectively.
• Ensure financial reports, forecasts, and insights are delivered accurately and on time.
• Collaborate with production, sales, and mechanical teams to turn operational data into meaningful financial actions.

What We Expect From You

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Industrial Engineering, or related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in manufacturing finance or paper mill environments.
• Experience with FP&A, expense control, and forecasting; AP/AR experience is a plus.
• Solid knowledge of manufacturing processes and cost structures is a strong advantage.
• Intermediate Excel proficiency; experience with ERP systems (SAP preferred) and BI tools (e.g., Power BI, Altrax).
• Ability to interpret data, communicate clearly, and influence decision-making across different teams.
• Curiosity to explore and adopt new digital tools and improve processes.

What We’re Looking For

• Data-Driven Mindset: You use data to guide decisions and challenge the status quo.
• Operational Understanding: Experience in manufacturing environments and understanding of production costs and equipment.
• Strong Communicator: You’re comfortable engaging with diverse teams and translating complex financial data into actionable insights.
• Collaborative Attitude: You enjoy working alongside operations, maintenance, and sales.
• Digital Agility: You’re comfortable navigating different systems and driving process automation and digital improvements.

Compensation and Benefits

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance: Comprehensive coverage options to support your health and well-being.
• Life and AD&D Insurance: Company-paid basic coverage and optional plans to protect you and your loved ones.
• Disability Insurance: Short-term and long-term disability coverage to protect your income in case of illness or injury.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan: Company matching contributions to help you save for the future.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Support for personal and work-related issues.
• Wellness Programs: Access to programs promoting physical and mental health.
• Employee Discount Program: Discounts on various products and services, including travel, electronics, and more.
