Job Description

Mercury Systems is seeking a Senior Financial Analyst for Manufacturing & Materials FP&A to connect shop-floor performance with enterprise planning. The position focuses on building and automating financial models and analytics that support budgeting, forecasting, variance analysis, and continuous improvement across multiple manufacturing sites.

Key Responsibilities

Consolidate, synthesize, and automate complex datasets across multiple manufacturing facilities, including bills of materials (BOM), standard costing systems, and supply chain logistics logs.
Extract, manipulate, and audit transactional, inventory, and cost ledger data using Oracle ERP (Cloud ERP, Amazon Datalake, and PowerBI).
Design and deploy executive-ready, interactive Power BI dashboards to deliver real-time visibility into manufacturing metrics such as PPV, scrap rates, plant throughput, and labor absorption.
Develop and maintain scalable Excel financial models using Power Query, dynamic arrays, scenario managers, and advanced formula architecture.
Own planning activities including the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), quarterly updates, and monthly rolling forecasts for manufacturing plants, direct material spend, freight, and conversion costs.
Conduct deep-dive variance analysis comparing standard versus actual performance across PPV, material usage variance (MUV), labor efficiency, volume variance, and under- or over-absorption.
Partner with Procurement to monitor commodity price indices, supplier contract renegotiations, currency fluctuations, and macro inflation or deflation trends.
Track inventory turns, analyze safety stock thresholds, and model Excess & Obsolete (E&O) reserves to support cash flow optimization.
Translate complex manufacturing and multi-variable financial variances into executive summaries, visual bridge charts, and strategic narratives.
Support Monthly Business Reviews (MBRs) with Plant Managers, the VPs of Lines-of-Business, and the CFO, highlighting financial trajectory, risks, and opportunities.
Move beyond historical reporting to identify cost leakages, operational bottlenecks, and scrap anomalies, and collaborate with plant engineering on root-cause corrective actions.
Establish standardized reporting cadence, cost-tracking methodologies, and inventory governance across plant operations.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Supply Chain Management, Data Analytics, or a related quantitative field.
Typically 4+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, Operations Finance, Plant/Manufacturing Cost Accounting, or Supply Chain Financial Analysis.
Advanced modeling skills including Power Query, dynamic arrays, complex multi-variable lookup matrices, scenario modeling, and sensitivity tables.
Proven experience building semantic models using DAX and Star Schema, plus developing published executive dashboards.
Hands-on experience with ERP systems.
Deep knowledge of standard costing, routings, absorption accounting, scrap allocation, and manufacturing P&L mechanics.
Strong independent investigation and variance problem-solving with cross-functional collaboration to drive process improvements.
Occasional in-office attendance outside the standard hybrid schedule may be needed to support meetings, execution, and/or team events.
