Financial Analyst (Stockton, CA)

Financial Analyst

Complex manufacturing company ready to hire you to be mentored into growth with us as our company grows. We can do this if we all work together to protect and improve margin, cost, client performance, program success, and cash. This role turns shop-floor reality into forecasts leadership can act on—before a bid is locked, a variance hardens, or working capital drifts. You will be the person who makes program economics clear enough to change a decision.

Performance Objectives

• Participate in Annual Planning, Budget, and continually update Forecast.
• Lead the charge to produce Management Reporting Package on company performance, including breakdown of product and customer impact.
• Produce rolling forecasts of revenue, margin, inventory, and cash for active programs so leadership can see margin risk at least one quarter ahead.
• Build bid and should-cost models that price labor, material, yield, and overhead from current standards, and flag assumptions that would miss target margin.
• Evaluate capital and tooling requests with payback, capacity, and cash impact so spend is approved only when it improves throughput or cost.
• Maintain a working-capital view—receivables, payables, and inventory days—and surface the levers that free cash without starving production.
