JOB DESCRIPTION
We believe that clothes — and how you make them — can make a difference.
Since 1853, we’ve been passionate about innovation to meet people’s needs. We invented the first blue jean. And we reinvented khaki pants. We pioneered labor and environmental guidelines for our manufacturing partners. And we work to build sustainability into everything we do.
A company doesn’t last 160 years by standing still. It endures by reinventing itself, striving to delight its consumers, winning in the marketplace, and by remaining true to its values. We employ more than 17,000 people around the world – supporting great brands, including Levi’s®, Dockers® and Denizen®. Our employees are committed to progress, authenticity and collaboration.
In this role, you will provide strategic, financial, analytical and operational support to executive leaders in Levi Strauss & Co. As an essential member of the team, you will provide key financial partnership to the technology leadership team. You will apply your expertise in planning and forecasting, financial modeling and evaluating business proposals while fostering partnerships with key business leaders inside and outside of corporate functions. You will also provide some assistance in the support of other corporate functions such as HR or finance.
In this role, you'll have the support of the shared service center and will play a crucial role that moves past providing generic reporting and analysis to the business. You will be a finance partner who can drive financial ownership and create accountability for IT investments across senior leaders within the company. You will report to the Director, Corporate FP&A.
Job Requirements:

! Consolidate regional CAPEX submissions and analyze for completeness and reasonability. Propose normalization of quarterly spread and highlight risks and opportunities within the forecast.
! Develop financial models based on information obtained from various sources to project IT spend 5 years out and develop financials to support the IT strategic business plan shared with IT leadership
! Review and aggregate IT project details and compiling and synthesizing data into a systematic and presentable format for the CIO and the investment steering committee to make IT project prioritization decisions
! Present project portfolio financials during monthly LS&Co. executive steering committee meetings
! Provide guidance to the global shared services team to align on quarterly forecast submissions and review forecast submissions for completeness
! Review project expenditure requests for the global IT portfolio to ensure compliance with GAAP and LS&Co. policies
! Stay current on accounting standards and LS&Co. finance policies and incorporate into the IT portfolio review. Raise IT portfolio accounting concerns to controllers when appropriate and draft audit support, when required.
Qualifications:
! Bachelor's degree required, preferably in Business, Finance or Accounting. MBA preferred.
! 8+ years of finance experience preferably in retail, apparel, or consumer packaged goods industries
! Experience working with a full P&L is preferred including revenue, margin and operating costs
! Lead projects toward completion
! Present and communicate with senior executives across the organization.
! Business process knowledge with an improvement mindset
! PowerPoint skills and Hyperion Essbase experience are a major plus
We put a lot of thought into our programs to provide you with a benefits package that matters. Whether it is for medical care, taking time off, improving your health or planning for retirement, we've got you covered. Here's a small snapshot:
! 401K match: $1.25 for every $1.00 you contribute up to the first 6% of pay you save.
! Five hours of paid volunteer time per month with nonprofit organizations
! Product discount of 40% off regular-price merchandise
