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
