As Associate Finance Manager, you will play a high-impact FP&A role supporting the Meals & Beverages Division’s Transportation team.

Your work will directly shape planning, performance management, and cost optimization for one of the organization’s most significant spend areas.

WHAT YOU WILL DO…Performance Management (Monthly Close, Variance, and Storytelling)

• Analyze monthly actuals versus plan, forecast, and prior year; isolate volume, rate, mix, and productivity drivers.

• Produce recurring dashboards and ad-hoc analyses highlighting KPIs, trends, risks, and savings opportunities.

Business Partnering (Influence Without Authority)

• Serve as the primary finance partner to Transportation and adjacent Supply Chain stakeholders.

• Act as the go-to resource for transportation cost insights by explaining the “why” behind results, not just the “what.”

• Present recommendations in clear, compelling formats including one-pagers, dashboards, and executive presentations.

Strategic Analysis & Cost Optimization

• Support volume and expense planning related to loads, lanes, carriers, and fuel, connecting operational plans to financial outcomes.

• Evaluate business cases and initiatives such as network changes, productivity improvements, and carrier strategies by quantifying ROI, risks, and sensitivities.
