The Opportunity
Encore is building a more connected, data-driven Supply Chain function, and we’re looking for a Senior Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) Analyst who wants to help shape what comes next. In this role, you’ll deliver enterprise-wide financial analysis and reporting while serving as a trusted finance partner across Supply Chain, Procurement, and Operations.
As we continue to grow through strategic acquisitions and organic expansion, so does the complexity of how we purchase, manage, and deploy materials across our operations. We’re investing in financial tools, insights, and processes that will help us make smarter purchasing decisions, unlock efficiencies, and improve profitability at scale.
This role sits at the intersection of Finance, Procurement, and Operations, helping to answer important business questions, build financial models and reporting capabilities, and bring greater visibility to the costs and decisions that impact our business every day.
Not every process or metric has been defined yet, and that’s part of the opportunity. We’re looking for someone who brings strong financial fundamentals, natural curiosity, and a builder’s mindset. You’ll have the opportunity to drive meaningful analytical work, collaborate with experienced leaders, and help develop the processes and tools that will support Encore’s next stage of growth and make a tangible impact on how we operate.
Key Responsibilities
- Support budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities related to supply chain operations, procurement spend, inventory, and material costs. Analyze performance against budgets, forecasts, and historical trends to identify key variances and underlying business drivers.
- Develop and maintain financial models and analyses to evaluate purchasing trends, supplier costs, operational expenditures, and potential cost-saving opportunities. Translate findings into meaningful insights that support business decisions.
- Analyze purchasing activity across vendors, product categories, business units, and locations to identify spending patterns, cost drivers, and opportunities for improved purchasing efficiency.
- Support the development and ongoing improvement of financial reports, dashboards, and key performance indicators that provide visibility into supply chain costs, purchasing trends, and operational performance.
- Partner with FP&A, Procurement, and Operations stakeholders to gather information, understand business needs, and provide financial analysis that supports operational decision-making.
- Assist in evaluating sourcing strategies, vendor agreements, procurement initiatives, and other improvement opportunities through financial analysis, scenario modeling, and cost-benefit assessments.
- Work with financial and operational data from multiple sources to improve reporting accuracy, identify trends, and support opportunities to streamline analytical processes.
- Contribute to efforts to improve consistency and financial visibility across Encore's growing network of locations, including supporting reporting and analysis associated with newly acquired businesses.
What You Bring to the Table
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Analytics, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, operational finance, supply chain finance, procurement analytics, or a related analytical function.
- Advanced financial modeling, budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis capabilities, with an understanding of how financial performance connects to operational activities.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including experience working with large datasets, financial models, and analytical reports.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret financial and operational data, identify trends, and communicate meaningful findings.
- Demonstrated experience presenting financial analysis to senior leaders and influencing cross-functional stakeholders.
- Meticulous attention to detail, with a commitment to consistency and accuracy and the ability to manage large volumes of data to deliver concise, timely reporting for executive review.
What Will Make You Stand Out?
Experience supporting supply chain, procurement, inventory, distribution, or other operational finance functions.
Exposure to developing or improving financial reporting processes, dashboards, KPIs, or analytical tools.
Proficiency with Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Power Query, or similar business intelligence and data analysis tools.
Experience with a CRM, an ERP, and an understanding of how data moves between them.
Experience in a multi-location, decentralized, service-based, or distribution-oriented business environment.
