  • Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to apply a strategic lens to decision making
  • Strong analytical skills and attention to detail, with the ability to interpret and validate complex data.
  • Experience leading a team and managing workflow in a fast-paced environment.
  • Proficiency in quoting systems and Microsoft Excel.
  • A structured, solutions-focused approach to process improvement.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively across departments.

Desirable

  • Experience working with product costing in a manufacturing environment.

This is an opportunity to lead a high-impact function in a business that values precision, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
