  • Driving continuous process improvement and operational efficiencies
  • Implementing and optimising costing systems and applications
  • Developing costing models, reports, and analytical tools for management reporting
  • Collaborating with Operations, Procurement, Finance, Warehouse, and Sales teams
  • Improving visibility, consistency, and standardisation within the costing process
  • Supporting strategic decision-making through accurate financial and commercial analysis
 
What We’re Looking For:
  • Strong analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail
  • Commercially aware with strong financial acumen
  • Highly organised with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Process-driven with a continuous improvement approach
  • Confident working independently and taking ownership of functions
  • Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
  • Able to work effectively under pressure and within deadlines
  •  
Minimum Requirements:

  • Experience with costing systems, ERP systems, or commercial applications
  • Solid understanding of costing principles, pricing structures, and GP margin management
  • Experience implementing or optimising systems/applications
