About The Position

Cost Center Management & Budget Accountability: Conduct monthly "Deep Dive" spend reviews with Department Managers to analyze actuals vs. budgets, preventing financial "surprises" and driving active cost containment. Project Governance: Manage the full lifecycle of capital and internal projects; ensure correct coding, spend tracking, and timely closure of assets to ensure P&L accuracy. Variance Root-Cause Analysis: Investigate material usage, scrap rates, and labor efficiency variances, translating raw financial data into "shopfloor speak" to improve operational efficiency. Margin Protection & BOM Integrity: Perform routine audits of Bills of Materials (BOMs) and labor routings; coordinate with Engineering on new product setups to ensure sales pricing reflects current manufacturing realities. Inventory Control & Cycle Count Oversight: Lead the site cycle counting program, investigate large adjustments, and reconcile perpetual inventory to the General Ledger to optimize working capital. CAPEX Management: Ensure Capital Expenditure is not incorrectly expensed to the P&L and that assets are put into service on time to begin depreciation in compliance with audit standards. Strategic Partnership: Partner directly with production leads to perform real-time analysis on inefficiencies rather than month-end "autopsies".
