About the role

This role includes financial reporting, cost and variance analysis, inventory monitoring, yield and OEE performance tracking, and operational support across two plants and seven production lines.

This position offers a unique opportunity to build and enhance financial tools, dashboards, and processes while gaining direct exposure to plant leadership and the CFO. It provides valuable experience in manufacturing finance and visibility into the full plant P&L. Success depends on strong cross-functional collaboration with operations, plant leadership, and finance teams to translate data into actionable business insights and support informed decision-making.

• Perform weekly and monthly financial reporting on key production accounts (including raw materials, direct labor, and utilities consumption) and ancillary accounts (including purchase price variance, inventory scrapping, and cycle count variance).
• Monitor and analyze Cost per Ton (crêpes, brioche, and overall blended average).
• Own the monthly close for all plant cost centers across both US sites, analyze actuals vs. budget by cost center and expense type, maintain cost center structure as operations evolve, and verify cost allocations and correct mispostings.

Skills
