Senior Finance Analyst Sourcing and COGS Analytics

Join Sysco in Houston, TX (hybrid) and help turn M&A value into measurable, validated results. In this Senior Finance Analyst role, you will build the models and tracking framework used to quantify COGS optimization, vendor cost parity, and margin targets, while partnering across teams to drive a shared view of synergy performance.

What you’ll do

• Build, maintain, and update financial models that track, report, and validate landed COGS improvements, SKU-level cost parity, and margin enhancement initiatives tied to M&A activities.
• Unpack and standardize complex procurement data, including vendor rebate structures and transfer pricing variances, across legacy ERP systems to support a single source of truth for synergy tracking.
• Work with large datasets to run scenario models, perform root-cause analysis on forecast versus actual performance, and identify margin leakage.
• Partner directly with Sourcing, Merchandising, Supply Chain, and Integration teams to gather data, understand operational drivers, and evaluate financial impacts.
• Create recurring Monthly and Quarterly Business Review (MBR/QBR) materials, KPI scorecards, and executive reporting packages reflecting synergy progression.
• Convert complex financial drivers and multi-layer datasets into clear summary schedules and actionable insights for finance and operational leadership.
• Support targeted financial evaluations, cost benchmarks, and special projects as directed by finance leadership.

What you bring

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related quantitative field.
• 2–5 years of progressive experience in financial analysis, commercial finance, corporate FP&A, or data analytics (at least 2 years required).
• Hands-on experience in COGS analysis, procurement finance, margin variance modeling, or M&A synergy tracking within food distribution, foodservice, wholesale, or retail environments.
• Proven ability to manipulate and analyze complex data structures across multiple systems.
• Strong foundation in full P&L mechanics, landed cost components, vendor rebate accounting, and margin analysis in large-scale distribution networks.
• High proficiency in Excel (advanced formulas, financial modeling, data structuring), PowerPoint, and BI tools (Power BI, Tableau, or SQL preferred), with comfort working with large datasets across disparate ERPs.
• Ability to dissect non-standard processes, reconcile data anomalies, and standardize non-transactional financial treatments.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills to summarize complex technical logic into clear financial schedules for cross-functional partners.
• Detail-oriented self-starter who can manage multiple analytical priorities and deliver accurate work under tight deadlines.
