  • Drive process improvements, automation, and system enhancements
  • Oversee cost allocations, activity rates, and planning cycles with precision

Leadership & Influence

  • Lead & develop a high-performing global cost accounting team
  • Build a culture of accountability, continuous improvement & collaboration
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree with CPA, CMA or MBA highly preferred
  • 12+ years of progressive cost accounting & experience with ramping up/transforming plant operations
  • Proven success in a complex, multi-site manufacturing environment (computer/electronics manufacturing a major win)
  • Deep expertise in SAP
  • Strong executive communication skills -- you can turn complexity into clarity -- liaison effectively with Engineers and Manufacturing Operations leaders
  • Experience in a public company/SOX-regulated environment
Why this role?
