Senior Operations Analyst - Financial

Senior Operations Analyst/Financial Location: Remote with 75% travel required Job Status: Full-Time Min. Experience level: 7-10 years experience Who We Are Implementation Engineers partners with companies to drive measurable, sustainable operational improvement. We specialize in delivering high-impact strategic initiatives through a structured, hands-on approach -- improving throughput, reducing cost, and aligning organizations. The Role We are seeking a Senior Operations Financial Analyst to play a critical role on client engagements focused on operational improvement. This position is central to our Program Design Phase (PDP), where financial rigor and operational insight are combined to build high-confidence business cases and transformation plans. You will work closely with cross-functional teams and client leadership to develop financial and operational models that reflect real shop-floor conditions across manufacturing, maintenance, operations, and supply chain environments. This role requires both strong analytical capability and comfort working onsite in plants and operational settings.

What You'll Do

• Build detailed financial and operational models (NPV, IRR, ROI, payback) to support diagnostic and implementation phases
• Translate shop-floor observations into credible financial impact and business cases
• Analyze labor, productivity, downtime, yield, inventory, and cost drivers to support improvement initiatives
• Develop scenario analyses to support capital and operational investment decisions
• Track and validate ROI during execution to ensure benefits are realized
• Present clear, concise insights to client leadership, connecting operational data to financial outcomes
• Pressure-test assumptions to ensure recommendations are realistic, achievable, and sustainable

What Makes You Successful Here Youll thrive in this role if you:

• Are comfortable working in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and maintenance environments -- and show genuine respect for the people doing the work
• Can quickly understand how work is actually performed and reflect that reality in your analysis
• Balance analytical rigor with practical judgment, knowing when precision matters and when progress matters more
• Communicate clearly and thoughtfully with both frontline teams and senior leaders
• Value being part of a close-knit, highly collaborative analyst team where people actively support one another, share ideas openly, and step in to help without being asked
• Care as much about how the team works together as the quality of the output, and take pride in contributing to a positive, trusting team dynamic
• Approach your work with humility and curiosity, recognizing that the best answers are often built together
• Enjoy ambiguity, fast-paced work, and complex problem-solving -- especially when done alongside others who are equally invested in the teams success

What You Bring

• Bachelors degree in Business, Finance, Engineering, STEM or similar
• 710+ years experience in corporate or operations finance, consulting, or investment banking
• Strong understanding of financial modeling and valuation techniques (NPV, IRR, ROI, cost modeling)
• Exposure to GAAP and cost accounting principles
• Experience supporting or partnering with manufacturing, operations, maintenance, or supply chain teams
• Advanced Excel modeling and data manipulation skills
• Strong presentation and storytelling ability - especially with senior leaders
• Comfortable in high-ambiguity, fast-paced environments
• SQL, statistical tools, or Power BI experience a plus
• Spanish speaking a plus
• Must be authorized to work in the United States without employer sponsorship now or in the future.
• Typically up to ~75% travel, with flexibility for higher travel as needed.

Why Join Implementation Engineers This is not a traditional finance role. Its an opportunity to:

• Influence real operational decisions
• See your work drive change on the shop floor
• Partner directly with client leadership and operations teams
• Gain exposure across multiple industries, facilities, and operating models accelerating your learning and broadening your perspective
• Build depth at the intersection of finance, operations, and execution
