Through rigorous variance analysis and reporting, the role provides clear, actionable insights that support strategic and operational decision‑making.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, execute, and continuously improve cost analysis frameworks across direct and indirect costs to identify inefficiencies, cost‑saving opportunities, and margin improvement opportunities
• Develop and enhance cost reporting and variance analysis, ensuring outputs are accurate, timely, and decision‑useful for management
• Assess existing cost structures, data flows, and reporting, identify gaps or inefficiencies, and implement improved processes, methodologies, or controls
• Prepare cost reports, financial statements, and analyses that support budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning
• Lead the preparation of cost forecasts and annual operating budgets, evaluating the financial feasibility of new projects, initiatives, and product lines
• Create and maintain annual standard cost updates, including review of work order settlements and cross‑company transactions

• 5+ years of progressive cost accounting experience, preferably in a manufacturing or industrial environment, with demonstrated ownership of cost processes
• Proven experience designing, implementing, or substantially improving cost accounting and reporting processes, not just operating within them
