The ideal candidate will have a strong analytical and financial mindset, with experience in accounting, finance, cost analysis, pricing, or manufacturing operations. This person should be comfortable working with detailed cost information, building and analyzing Excel models, identifying trends and variances, and translating financial and operational data into practical pricing recommendations.

Approximately 75% of the role will focus on quoting and pricing activities, with approximately 25% focused on margin analysis, forecasting, and profitability improvement.

• Analyze purchase price variance (PPV), production run speeds, and other cost and manufacturing performance variances that impact profitability.
• Compare quoted costs and margins to actual or reported results and identify significant variances and their causes.
• Analyze the financial impact of changes in raw material costs, production performance, labor, pricing, and other cost drivers.
• Recommend pricing changes when costs, production performance, or expected margins warrant them.
• Identify products, customers, or orders where pricing may no longer support targeted margins.
• Work with Operations, Purchasing, Sales, and Finance/Accounting to investigate margin variances and develop corrective actions.

Forecasting & Financial Analysis

• Forecast expected margins based on planned customer shipments and production activity.
• Compare forecasted margins with reported/actual margins and explain material differences.
• Develop and maintain Excel-based analyses, models, reports, and dashboards to monitor profitability, pricing, costs, and variance trends.
• Analyze and communicate the financial impact of operational and commercial decisions, providing recommendations to management.
