• Perform month-to-date, quarter-to-date, and year-to-date analysis over key financial results, including manufacturing variances, standard cost revaluations, purchase price variances, and other costs of goods sold
• Identify/implement points of improvement on the existing cost accounting practices/internal controls and provide ongoing updates to management regarding the status of implementing these improvements
• Standardize the review of key performance indicators and financial trends analysis to assist in management’s relational approach to decision-making
• Earn your “seat at the table” with management based on your ability to add value that extends beyond financial reporting
• Partner with the existing Global Operations Finance team to transition from tactically performing cost accounting functions to strategically reviewing these functions
• Actively participate in Business Process Excellence initiatives in connection with the implementation of Oracle Fusion cloud-based ERP for the business
• Coordinate/manage the “Big 4” external audit process as it pertains to cost accounting, including oversite of the physical inventory counts

• Bachelor’s degree in finance or accounting, a minimum of 5 years of financial/accounting experience; added plus if you also have an MBA, CMA, or CPA
• High proficiency with Microsoft Office suite; strong working knowledge of Excel required
• Proficiency utilizing ERP systems (Oracle or similar), added plus if you also have experience with ERP system implementations
• Ability and excitement to travel to on an as-needed basis
• Interpersonal skills: focus on solving conflict, not blaming
