Financial & Data Analyst

What you’ll do

• Build revenue bridges that separate performance into price, volume, and mix, then run budget-versus-actual variance analysis and help design KPI scorecards leadership uses to run the business.
• Create product cost models, develop time-driven activity-based costing, and distinguish fixed vs. variable costs to improve understanding of operating leverage and true product and customer profitability.
• Model how pricing changes affect both margin and volume, supporting the commercial team on where, when, and how much.
• Support the annual budget, rolling forecasts, and scenario models using clear, documented assumptions.
• Research market size, customer segments, and competitors to inform strategy and growth decisions.
• Partner with the supply chain leader on analytics such as inventory, service levels, and freight when additional analytical horsepower is needed.
• Convert recurring manual reporting into automated, AI-assisted reporting, improving judgment and reducing copy-and-paste work while keeping data secure and numbers accurate.
• Present your own work to the CFO and executive team.

What you’ll bring

• A bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, Data Analytics, Statistics, Mathematics, or another quantitative field.
• 0–4 years of professional experience, with internships, co-ops, and serious academic or personal projects counting.
• Managerial or cost accounting coursework or experience, with an understanding of the difference between reporting results and explaining them.
• Strong Excel modeling skills and comfort working with large, imperfect datasets.
• Curiosity about AI and analytics tools, especially hands-on experience building with them.
• Ability to turn analysis into a clear story for non-spreadsheet stakeholders.
• Sound judgment and integrity with data: check your work, flag mismatches, and protect confidential information.

• Tableau, Power BI, Claude, ChatGPT, ERP, SAP

Role details

Location: West Des Moines, Iowa (on-site only)

Employment: Full-time, individual contributor

Reports to: CFO

Compensation: Base salary + bonus eligibility + profit sharing

What success looks like in your first year

• First 90 days: Understand core data, products, and P&L; own a recurring price/volume/mix bridge; automate at least one report previously built by hand.
• By six months: Build a product cost model for a major product family and deliver fixed-versus-variable cost analysis used in decisions.
• By twelve months: Help build a company KPI scorecard incorporated into monthly executive reviews; present at least one pricing or market analysis to leadership.

Why this role is different

• Your analysis goes to the CFO and executive team, and you present your own work.
• You’ll gain exposure across cost, pricing, budgeting, market strategy, supply chain analytics, and reporting automation in one role.
• Core business systems are connected into a single data repository for AI tools, and you’ll help determine how far the team can take it by experimenting.
• You’ll connect the numbers to the factory floor.

Growth and mentorship
