Job Overview

The

Sales Finance Analyst

at Pacific Coast Fruit Products is a pivotal link between Finance, Sales, Production, and Supply Chain. This role goes far beyond "reporting the numbers"--it ensures the business fully understands why performance looks the way it does and how to improve it.

As a trusted business partner to the Commercial team, the Analyst will deliver forward-looking insights that inform pricing strategies, customer negotiations, product portfolio mix and long-term growth initiatives. You'll manage the financial lens on sales performance--connecting volume, pricing, and margin outcomes into clear, actionable recommendations.

Day to day, you will be building detailed financial models, analyzing customer and product profitability, and preparing reports and dashboards that drive decisions at both the tactical (weekly sales reviews, customer P&L) and strategic levels (budget planning, product profitability, channel expansion scenarios). You'll also support the company's Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process by linking demand forecasts with their financial implications, ensuring that production, inventory, and sales targets are aligned.

This role requires both analytical rigor and business curiosity--someone who can dive into complex data sets, uncover the story, and communicate it in a way that resonates with both Finance and Commercial leaders. By combining technical expertise with strong commercial acumen, the Sales Finance Analyst helps PCFP maximize revenue growth, protect margins, and allocate resources, all while supporting the company's mission to deliver high-quality, innovative fruit-based solutions.
