This role sits at the intersection of retail strategy, operations, and finance - providing a unique opportunity to influence billions of dollars in cost savings while partnering with leaders across the organization from individual initiative owners to SVP reviewers. The Finance Manager will be responsible for program tracking, reporting, stakeholder management, and analytical support across the full portfolio of cost-out initiatives.

- Track and report on 30+ active initiatives across eight strategic pillars: Optimized Buying, Packaging, Outbound Efficiency, Vendor/Customer Experience, Selection Management, Inventory Management, Private Brands, and Canada
- Develop and maintain savings methodologies in partnership with initiative-level Finance SMEs, ensuring consistency between Total Absolute Savings and Incremental Savings
- Maintain the source of all COI Methodologies, documenting exact mathematical equations, metric definitions, nuances, risks, and challenges for each initiative
- Conduct variance analysis against plan targets, preparing root cause commentary for variances
- Support operating planning inputs, including Total Absolute Savings and Incremental Savings by Month/GL/Channel, and FC Type Split ratios (Sort/Non-Sort/AMXL) by initiative
- Partner with the Business Co-Lead (Principal Product Manager) to facilitate cross-organizational collaboration between US Retail Stores and Operations, including tri-annual Think Big workshops and the monthly spotlight series
- Manage the new initiative intake process, evaluating submissions against eligibility thresholds
- Partner with Operations to connect and validate initiative performance to corresponding Cost-to-Serve per-unit metrics and Operating Profit improvement to ensure holistic P&L optimization and attribution
