Finance Manager - Sales: Nordstrom Rack (Hybrid, Seattle)

Nordstrom•Seattle, WA

2d•$93,500 - $155,000•Hybrid

About The Position

As the Rack Finance Manager, you will independently own Nordstrom Rack topline forecasting. The role sits directly with senior partners across Merchandising, Marketing, Supply Chain, and Operations, operates in an ambiguous and constantly shifting environment, and forms a defensible point of view before the numbers settle. Rack carries its own layer of complexity on top of that ambiguity: an omnichannel fulfillment strategy (store fulfill, BOPUS, Same Day, Next Day, and FC BOPUS) that must be understood and reflected in the forecast. The role owns the accuracy of that forecast end to end, including explaining variances and defending the number directly in weekly and monthly forums with leadership. Additionally, the role requires both high judgment and the ability to reflect on the validity of one's assumptions, incorporating feedback from other subject matter experts to continuously improve forecasting rigor and accuracy.
