About the role
PDW values our team, and we offer a compensation package reflective of your experience and capabilities. Benefits include:
What they're looking for
- Own and continuously improve an integrated, driver-based manufacturing model for PDW's existing operations and expansion into 5 to 7 additional product verticals
- Translate demand forecasts, program schedules, and launch plans into production-volume, ramp-rate, throughput, capacity, and resource scenarios by product and vertical
- Develop gross-margin forecasts and bridges that isolate the effects of volume, price, mix, material usage and purchase price, labor efficiency, yield, overhead absorption, warranty, and other cost drivers
- Build repeatable model templates and assumption standards for new verticals so opportunities can be evaluated consistently while preserving the operating differences of each product, market, and launch plan
- Partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Product and Program leaders, Go-to-Market, and Accounting to validate model inputs, challenge assumptions, identify dependencies, and maintain a clear source of truth
- Lead the manufacturing inputs to annual planning and quarterly forecasts, including revenue, production, COGS, gross margin, headcount, OpEx, CapEx, inventory, working capital, and cash-flow assumptions
More about this role
Now, we are seeking a Senior FP&A Analyst to help develop and provide ongoing ownership of PDW's integrated manufacturing model as the company scales its existing operations and evaluates expansion into five to seven additional product and mission verticals. Reporting to the Manager of FP&A, this individual will partner with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, Product and Program leaders, Go-to-Market, Accounting, and People Operations to translate demand and launch plans into revenue, production, capacity, COGS, gross margin, investment, working-capital, and cash requirements.
This is a forward-looking FP&A, modeling, and business partnership role rather than a technical accounting or controllership position. The successful candidate will be comfortable building detailed operational models, establishing repeatable frameworks for new verticals, reconciling model outputs to actual results, and converting complex manufacturing tradeoffs into executive-ready recommendations in a rapidly scaling hardware environment.
