Sr Financial Analyst – Role Description

Financial Analyst — Infrastructure Spares Budget Support

Scope of Work

1. Forecast & Budget Model Support

• Maintain and update the bottom-up drivers-based spares cost model (failure rate x install base x seed stock coverage x component pricing) as inputs are refreshed client and partner teams.
• Consolidate driver inputs collected from Planning, Quality, and Hardware Engineering into the model; flag missing, stale, or internally inconsistent inputs to the CWAM for resolution.
• Build scenario views (e.g., alternative seed stock coverage levels, cross-fiscal-year deferral of spend) at the direction of the budget owner, and document the assumptions behind each.
• Produce monthly phasing of forecast demand and spend to support the financial close calendar.

• Variance Analysis & Reporting Production

• Prepare the recurring monthly OpEx variance package — actuals vs. forecast by platform and category — including draft driver-level commentary for FTE review and sign-off.
• Categorize and quantify variance drivers, separating items not forecasted (structural gaps) from items under-forecasted (failure rate or pricing estimation gaps).
• Maintain recurring reporting and trackers covering commitments, open purchase orders, fund consumption, and remaining budget at part-number granularity.
• Flag budget exhaustion risk and material variances to the CWAM as they are identified.

• Reconciliation

• Reconcile supplier rebates, credits, and prepaid or warranty-entitled material against recorded spend; produce reconciliation schedules and document unexplained differences.
• Cross-check spend and inventory data across systems of record, and document discrepancies and suspected root causes for FTE follow-up.
• Assemble supporting cost documentation packages (cost basis, quantity rationale, source references) for high-value components, to the standard specified by the team.

• Funding Request & Presentation Support

• Assemble the data, backup schedules, and draft materials underpinning funding requests and business cases.
• Prepare draft presentation content and appendices for client review; the FTE owns final content, submission, and all stakeholder communication.

• Tooling & Process Improvement

• Support the transition of budget tracking from manual spreadsheets to automated, refreshable reporting; contribute requirements, validation, and user acceptance testing.
• Document recurring processes so they are repeatable and transferable.
