About Harbinger

Harbinger is an American commercial electric vehicle (EV) company on a mission to transform an industry starving for innovation. Harbinger’s best-in-class team of EV, battery, and drivetrain experts have pooled their deep experience to bring a first-of-its-kind EV platform to support the growing demand for medium-duty EVs and Hybrids. Harbinger: Familiar Form, Revolutionary Foundation.

Position Overview

We are looking for an analytical and practical Senior Financial Analyst to join the Harbinger FP&A team. You will be the finance business partner to our Logistics team, which covers material handling, warehouse management, third-party logistics (3PL) locations, receiving of all goods, outsourced manufacturing logistics, and shipment of finished goods. This team is scaling our warehouse and logistics network as Harbinger scales production.

You will sit on the leadership team of the business you support. You will own their financial plan, help leaders understand how their decisions show up in the numbers, and build the metrics that show whether we are getting more efficient as volume grows. This role suits someone who is comfortable with ambiguity, likes working directly with operations and engineering teams, and wants to build something rather than maintain it.

Passion for our mission and vision is required.

What You'll Do: 
  • Own annual and multi-year financial planning (headcount, OPEX, and capital) for the Logistics team, including warehousing, material handling, receiving, and 3PL locations.
  • Own the inbound and outbound freight forecast and month-end freight accruals, including spend by mode (truckload, LTL, and expedited) and tracking of premium and expedited freight.
  • Build operating and financial metrics such as cost per part received, stored, and shipped, 3PL cost per unit, and finished goods freight cost per vehicle, and track how they change as volume grows.
  • Build and track business cases for warehouse, material handling, and automation investments, including network expansion and in-house versus 3PL decisions, and track actual capital spend and returns against those cases.
  • Measure 3PL, carrier, and outsourced manufacturing logistics costs and service performance against plan and contracted rates, and track realized savings.
  • Partner with Logistics and Accounting so receiving, inventory in transit, inventory held at third-party locations, capitalized inbound freight, and finished goods shipping costs are accurately reflected in the financials, and help explain inventory adjustments at our warehouses and 3PL locations.
  • Analyze and explain variances to plan and forecast, with a focus on drivers and actions the business can take.
  • Create and present content for business reviews and finance reviews.

Who You Are: 

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a STEM field
  • 3-5+ years of financial analysis experience
  • Advanced Excel skills, including building models with multiple inputs, constraints, and scenarios
  • Experience with data mining using SQL
  • Experience partnering directly with operations, supply chain, logistics, or engineering leaders
  • Working knowledge of transportation modes and freight cost drivers
  • Strong written communication and presentation skills

Preferred Qualifications:

  • MBA or Master's degree in a related field
  • Experience with logistics, freight, warehouse, or distribution finance, including unit cost and capacity modeling
  • Experience with capital business cases for automation or facilities
  • Experience managing or analyzing 3PL contracts, outsourced manufacturing, or contract logistics costs
  • Experience with a transportation management system (TMS) or warehouse management system (WMS)
  • Experience at an automotive OEM or Tier 1 supplier, or in high-rate manufacturing, EV, or industrial companies
Key Benefits & Perks:
  • Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered
  • Early-stage Stock Options
  • Robust Retirement Savings (401k, HSA, FSA)
  • Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) & Parental Leave
  • Annual Vacation Bonus
  • Wellness & Fertility Benefits
  • Cell Phone Stipend
  • Complimentary Meals & Stocked Kitchens
California Pay Range
$100,000—$120,000 USD
