Position Overview:
Siemens Mobility, Inc. is seeking a dynamic Inventory Finance Controller to drive operational efficiency through inventory management and process optimization in operations for the Customer Services business unit. This role combines analytical thinking with practical execution to deliver sustainable business improvements across the organization, focusing on inventory optimization, by automating processes and providing clear financial insights. The role supports strategic decision making and contributes to the overall financial performance of the organization. This position involves analyzing inventory data, identifying trends, and implementing strategies to improve inventory accuracy and efficiency with a direct focus on enhancing working capital utilization and financial performance.
Some of the key aspects for success in this role are autonomy, being an agent for change, standardization, and ownership. This exciting and challenging position can be based in Siemens Mobility locations in Lexington, NC; Pittsburgh, PA; Alpharetta, GA or Orlando, FL and will report directly to the Head of Operations Finance.
What your day-to-day will look like:
- Develop, implement, and maintain inventory control procedures and systems to optimize stock levels, reduce obsolescence, and improve inventory turns, with a clear focus on minimizing working capital tied up in inventory and increasing Free Cash Flow.
- Collect, analyze, and interpret large datasets related to inventory, sales, production, and procurement. Generate regular reports on inventory performance, discrepancies, and key metrics (e.g., stock outs, excess stock, fill rates), providing insights into their impact on working capital, cash conversion cycle, and Free Cash Flow.
- Conduct financial analysis of inventory decisions, including cost benefit analysis of inventory investments, obsolescence provisions, and carrying costs, to quantify their impact on working capital and Free Cash Flow.
- See opportunities for process improvements within inventory management, warehousing, and logistics. Propose and implement solutions to enhance efficiency and reduce costs, specifically targeting improvements that positively influence working capital and FCF.
- Use ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and other inventory management tools to track, manage, and report on inventory. Ensure data integrity within these systems.
- Work cross-functionally with Procurement, Production, Sales, Finance, and Logistics teams to align inventory strategies with business objectives.
- Proactively identify potential inventory issues (e.g., slow-moving stock, potential stock outs) and develop corrective action plans, considering their financial ramifications and impact on FCF.
- Ensure all inventory activities align with company policies, industry regulations, and quality standards.
To thrive in this role, you have:
- Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Finance, or a related field. In lieu of Bachelor’s degree, a combination of education and Siemens relevant work experience will be considered.
- 5+ years of experience in inventory management, supply chain analysis, demand planning, or a similar analytical role, preferably within a manufacturing or large-scale distribution environment.
- A demonstrated understanding of how inventory impacts financial performance, particularly Free Cash Flow and working capital.
- Proficiency in ERP systems (e.g., SAP MM/PP, SAP S/4HANA) is highly desirable.
- Advanced Microsoft Excel skills (pivot tables, VLOOKUP, complex formulas).
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities with keen attention to detail and strong financial acumen.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to present complex data clearly to various stakeholders.
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple priorities and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
- Setting you apart from others would be a master’s degree in a related field with an understanding of financial statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement) and their interrelationships, especially as they pertain to working capital and Free Cash Flow. Experience in a global or complex multi-site organization with knowledge of Lean principles or Six Sigma methodologies and familiarity with Siemens' specific products, services, or internal processes. Experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) is a plus.
