Sr. Financial Analyst- Infrastructure Spares Budget Support

Role Description

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 by FTEs 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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 FTE review; the FTE owns final content, submission, and all stakeholder communication.

5. 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.
