FP&A Intern

FP&A Intern

Support the Finance department in planning, forecasting, and performance analysis across our battery manufacturing/recycling operations and distribution business. The intern will gain hands-on experience with budgeting, variance analysis, cost reporting, market/channel performance analysis, and finance process automation.

Under the guidance of the FP&A team, the intern will assist with monthly close support, forecasting models, plant-level cost analysis, distribution/market performance reporting, and initiatives to automate and modernize finance workflows using AI and automation tools. This role offers exposure to how financial planning connects manufacturing operations to downstream distribution and market performance, as well as how emerging technology is reshaping finance processes.

Responsibilities may include:

• Assisting with monthly/quarterly financial reporting and variance analysis (actual vs. budget/forecast)
• Supporting annual budgeting and rolling forecast cycles
• Analyzing production costs, material/scrap yields, and unit economics
• Analyzing market and distribution performance — sales volumes by channel/region, distributor margins, market share trends, and pricing dynamics
• Supporting AI and automation initiatives — identifying repetitive reporting tasks for automation (e.g., Power Query, macros, scripting), and assisting in piloting AI tools for forecasting, data cleaning, or reporting
• Maintaining and updating Excel/BI models used for plant and distribution performance tracking
• Preparing presentation materials for finance and operations leadership
• Ad hoc analysis as requested by the FP&A team

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing a degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, formulas); familiarity with Power BI or similar a plus
• Interest in process automation, AI tools, or data analytics is a plus
