Finance Manager - Sales

Job Description

NOTE:   This position is offered as a hybrid role in the Seattle, WA area.  You must be willing to work onsite at the Nordstrom Seattle office a minimum of 4 days/week in order to be considered for this position.

As the Rack Finance Manager, you will independently own Nordstrom Rack topline forecasting. The role sits directly with senior partners across Merchandising, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Operations, operates in an ambiguous and constantly shifting environment, and forms a defensible point of view before the numbers settle. 

Rack carries its own layer of complexity on top of that ambiguity: an omnichannel fulfillment strategy (store fulfill, BOPUS, Same Day, Next Day, and FC BOPUS) that must be understood and reflected in the forecast. The role owns the accuracy of that forecast end to end, including explaining variances and defending the number directly in weekly and monthly forums with leadership.

Additionally, the role requires both high judgment and the ability to reflect on the validity of one's assumptions, incorporating feedback from other subject matter experts to continuously improve forecasting rigor and accuracy. 

A day in the life:

• Business Planning and Forecast Ownership: independently builds, owns, and updates the Rack sales and demand plan and forecast 
• Business Partnering and Leadership Communication: weekly storylines, WBR content, leadership business review forums, executive presentation support 
• Ad Hoc Analysis and Business Trend Investigation: Rack return rate analysis, fulfillment performance reviews, business trend investigations 
• Omnichannel Fulfillment and Close Support: BOPUS and Same Day, Next Day, and FC BOPUS sub-category classification, month end close commentary on fulfillment journeys
• Reporting and Systems Maintenance: hourly plan loads, GCP plan uploads, audit support for internal and external requests

You own this if you have:

• Bachelor's degree (finance or economics preferred)
• 5+ plus years of experience in finance, business analysis, financial modeling, and budgeting
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with experience up-leveling complex analysis to Executive and Board level presentations
• Team player with a positive attitude and proven ability to develop effective and influential business relationships at all levels of the organization 
• Experience with SQL, Tableau, and Anaplan
• Superior MS Excel abilities, including the ability to use formulas, functions & pivot tables
• Experience with corporate metrics, analytical methods and data hierarchies
