Senior Operations Analyst/Financial
Location: Remote with 75% travel required

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
