Responsibilities:
Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long-range financial planning activities using Adaptive Planning and advanced Excel models, with particular focus on production assumptions and scenario development. Develop and refresh rolling cost forecasts by facility and product line, incorporating grape supply expectations, bulk inventory levels, bottling timing, and planned product launches. Estimate annual grape costs across vineyards, varietals, and brand allocations by analyzing contracted volumes, projected yields, farming expense patterns, and external purchase agreements. Review monthly standard costs against actual results, investigate cost variances, and recommend updates to rates or assumptions when needed. Work closely with winemaking and accounting partners to support accurate inventory valuation and proper cost layering within financial records. Prepare and support monthly operating reports, quarterly board materials, external reporting packages, and ad hoc presentations for management. Create performance reporting for operations, highlighting budget alignment, emerging risks, and improvement opportunities through clear financial insights. Produce vineyard-level analyses covering cost per acre, cost per ton, yield performance, and related trends across owned and leased properties. Build scenario models for blend choices, new product opportunities, product portfolio decisions, and capital investments such as vineyard development, replanting, or acquisitions.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
