About The Position

At Kinder's, we're passionate about flavor, quality, and creating exceptional food experiences. As our company continues to grow, so does the scale and complexity of our supply chain across co-manufacturing, logistics, and an expanding SKU portfolio. The Supply Chain Finance Analyst will support the financial processes, reporting, and analysis that keep our operations running efficiently. This role goes beyond pulling numbers — delivering rigorous analysis and actionable insights that improve performance and support sound decision-making across Supply Chain and Operations. Operating in a fast-moving and evolving environment, this analyst will support budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes while helping guide decisions made with imperfect information. The role partners closely with Supply Chain and Operations teams and supports senior finance leadership with supply chain financial insights. This position plays an important role in helping balance service, cost, margin, and working capital to ensure supply chain decisions support the company's long-term financial health and strategic priorities.
