• Understanding of production routing, manufacturing processes, Bills of Material (BoM), and product costing throughout the production lifecycle.
• The ability to challenge costing methodologies and identify operational drivers impacting manufacturing performance.
• Advanced analytical skills using Excel, Power BI, and other visualization tools.
• A proven ability to influence stakeholders and drive cross-functional transformation initiatives.

As a person, you combine strategic thinking with a pragmatic, hands-on approach. You enjoy challenging existing ways of working, building strong relationships, and collaborating across disciplines to deliver meaningful results.
