Senior Financial Analyst – Global Supply Chain

We are looking for an analytical Senior Financial Analyst to join the Harbinger FP&A team as the finance business partner to our Operations and Supply Chain organization. This team runs Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) and Material Requirements Planning (MRP) for Harbinger.

Harbinger is scaling production of our commercial electric vehicles. Operations will own the material budget and FP&A will own tracking and reporting on those costs. You will be the finance subject matter expert in S&OP and MRP across Harbinger Finance. You will help standardize how we forecast materials with our operating teams, and use planning data to explain how on-time delivery and changes to plan affect our financial results. You will also help us understand and manage the cost of our global supplier base, including landed cost, tariffs, and currency exposure.

Passion for our mission and vision is required.

• Serve as finance business partner to the Operations and Supply Chain leadership team, including financial planning for headcount and OPEX.
• Become the finance subject matter expert in S&OP and MRP. Understand how demand, supply, and lead times flow through the system and into the financial forecast.
• Lead a standard materials forecasting method with operating teams, including how committed, planned, and not-yet-planned demand are estimated and time phased.
• Analyze direct material spend by supplier, commodity, and region, and support sourcing decisions with should-cost models, quote comparisons, and business cases for second sources or make-vs-buy.
• Model and report the landed cost of parts, including tariffs, duties, and inbound freight (partnering with the Logistics finance analyst), and show how trade and tariff changes affect cost of goods sold.
• Track purchase price variance against standard cost and measure progress on supplier cost-reduction targets.
• Develop trackable ways to reflect supplier delivery performance in the forecast, and measure forecast accuracy over time.
• Identify supplier risk, including foreign currency exposure, single-source dependencies, and supplier financial health.
• Build inventory reporting, including inventory levels, excess and obsolete, scrap, and shortages.
• Partner with Procurement and Treasury on supplier payment terms and inventory days, and how both affect cash.
• Partner with Accounting so inventory costing and cost allocation stay compliant with GAAP and audit requirements.

Who You Are:

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a STEM field
• 3-5+ years of financial analysis experience
• Experience with materials or inventory forecasting, S&OP, or MRP in a manufacturing environment
• Experience supporting procurement or direct materials sourcing, including supplier quote analysis or should-cost modeling
• Advanced Excel skills, including large data sets and scenario modeling
• Experience with data mining using SQL and with ERP data
• Strong written communication and presentation skills, including explaining complex data to non-finance partners

Preferred Qualifications:

• MBA or Master's degree in a related field
• Experience with NetSuite, Coupa, or another ERP migration
• Experience with procurement analytics in Coupa or a similar tool
• Experience with inventory accounting, excess and obsolete reserves, or standard costing
• Familiarity with landed cost, tariffs, customs, or foreign currency in a global supply base
