AccountingFull-time

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

    Basic Qualifications

    • 3+ years of tax, finance or a related analytical field experience
    • 4+ years of applying key financial performance indicators (KPIs) to analyses experience
    • 4+ years of creating process improvements with automation and analysis experience
    • 4+ years of identifying, leading, and executing opportunities to improve, automate, standardize or simplify finance or business tools and processes experience
    • 3+ years of dissecting financial data and identifying patterns that support business strategy experience
    • 3+ years of contributing to cross-functional initiatives that drive financial performance and strategy experience
    • Bachelor's degree

    Preferred Qualifications

    • 4+ years of participating in continuous improvement projects in your team to scale and improve controllership with measurable results experience
    • MBA, or CPA
    • Knowledge of Tableau
