• Position: Senior Financial Analyst, COGS & Inventory
• Location: Roseville, MN
• Hours: Monday-Friday, 8am-5pm

POSITION DETAILS:

The Senior Financial Analyst, COGS & Inventory provides financial visibility, analysis, and accountability for PHS’s $200M annual supply and inventory spend. This role partners closely with Operations, Respiratory Therapy, Pharmacy/IV, Billing, Supply Chain, Procurement, and FP&A to monitor supply usage, reduce shrinkage, improve unit-cost compliance, and strengthen alignment between supplies and revenue billed.

This position is critical to improving contribution margin, reducing financial leakage, and strengthening operational controls across PHS’s multi-state organization. A strong accounting foundation, including inventory valuation, reconciliations, and accruals, is essential to ensure COGS accuracy and stabilize reported results.

• Work directly with accounting on reconciliations between subledger systems.
• Standardize inventory processes and workflows across fleets, regional sites, and warehouse locations.

• Partner with accounting to validate month-end accruals for indirect categories.
• Analyze indirect cost categories such as fleet, facilities, purchased services, maintenance, and corporate programs.
• Support sourcing decisions with cost/benefit modeling, total cost of ownership analysis, and scenario comparison (buy vs. lease, maintenance vs. replacement, vendor switching, etc.)
• Build dashboards and KPIs for indirect spend categories that mirror COGS reporting (cost/unit, spend per FTE, etc..).
• Review contract compliance and partner with procurement to identify savings, avoid overspend, and strengthen vendor discipline.
• Ensure fleet, indirect cost centers, and corporate purchasing channels have the right operational controls to prevent waste,
