ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a highly detailed, collaborative, and forward-thinking Senior Financial Analyst to join our team in Chicago. Reporting directly to the FP&A Manager, this role will primarily focus on the comprehensive analysis, budgeting, and forecasting of SG&A expenses, managing a functional portfolio of approximately ~$300M USD across corporate functions.
Operating within a complex matrix environment, you will act as a trusted business partner to BM leadership and corporate functional heads, managing and optimizing an expansive SG&A budget portfolio. This role demands exceptional data-modeling capabilities to track headcount and cost trends, an unwavering focus on efficiency through tech-driven automation, and the ability to transform raw expenditure data into highly polished, executive-ready presentations under strict timelines.

WHAT YOU'LL ACCOMPLISH

• End-To-End Budgeting & Forecasting: Lead the end-to-end annual budgeting and rolling forecast processes for corporate functions, managing a total SG&A spend of ~$300M USD.
• Performance Reporting & Variance Analysis: Deliver rigorous monthly performance reporting, variance analysis, and actionable insights. Deeply track cost drivers, headcount trends, and the progress of strategic savings initiatives.
• Redesign SG&A Allocation: Take leadership in redesigning the SG&A cost allocation methodology to clearly identify direct versus allocated costs, ensuring flawless and accurate financial reporting.
• Executive-Ready Deliverables: Own the preparation of high-quality, executive-ready materials—including presentation slides, dashboards, and financial bridges—for monthly business reviews and quarterly executive reporting.
• Team Support & Ad-Hoc Reporting: Provide nimble ad-hoc financial analysis and support for the overall FP&A team, contributing heavily to peak month-end reporting cycles.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate closely with Accounting, Consolidations, and the broader FP&A community to ensure perfect alignment of actuals, forecasts, and corporate financial timelines.
• Process Automation & Model Continuous Improvement: Implement continuous improvements in financial planning models and tools. Leverage modern AI tools to optimize reporting workflows, build automated validation checks, and eliminate manual redundancies.
• Demonstrate a commitment to communicating, improving and adhering to health, safety and environmental policies in all work environments and areas. Promote a culture of safety and exhibit these behaviors.
