Sr Financial Analyst, Perishable Fulfillment

Key job responsibilities

• Automation Buildout Economics & Glidepath
• Own the financial modeling for automation deployments in Perishable — what does each investment cost, what should it save, and over what timeline
• Build the financial glidepath for automation's path to value — year-over-year milestones tied to specific deployment phases and labor savings assumptions
• Partner closely with biz ops to co-develop achievable entitlements — not finance-in-a-vacuum targets, but plans the operators believe in and will execute against
• Quantify labor savings entitlements from each deployment — translate technology investments into hours saved, headcount avoided, and P&L impact
• Track CAPEX actuals vs. CAR approval — flag overruns, explain variances, maintain the investment tracker
• Support the CAR process: prepare financial models and white papers for capital approval requests
• Benchmark automation economics against comparable deployments (internal and external) to validate assumptions and identify gaps
• Push back when business cases don't hold up — challenge cost assumptions, timeline optimism, and savings claims with data
• Project Fusion Financial Glidepath & Entitlement
• Own Fusion's financial glidepath to profitability — define the path, set milestones, track progress, course-correct
• Model Fusion initiative entitlements — quantify what each workstream should deliver and connect to P&L lines
• Partner with biz ops and the GFC field to derive achievable plans — pressure-test assumptions, align on commitments, and ensure the plan is executable
• Track Fusion initiative performance vs. entitlement on an ongoing basis; flag when workstreams are underperforming their commitment
• Close the loop: ensure entitlements don't just get set and forgotten — own the cadence of tracking, escalation, and course correction
• Feed Fusion savings and cost inputs into OP1/OP2 planning cycles
• Business Partnership & Influence
• Serve as the finance partner to automation and Fusion program teams — embedded in their rhythm of business
• Translate technology deployment metrics into financial language for leadership
• Surface financial trade-offs that program teams may not see (e.g., "this deployment saves labor but the CAPEX payback extends beyond 3 years — is that acceptable?")
• Influence investment prioritization by providing clear, comparable economics across competing automation opportunities
