** Meet the team:
** The Senior Cost Accountant (Senior Cost Accountant – Inventory & Standard Costing) ensures the integrity of inventory valuation and manufacturing costing through in-depth analysis of inventory transactions, standard costs, and production variances. This role partners with Operations, Supply Chain, Engineering, IT, and Finance to strengthen inventory controls, govern cost-related master data (BOMs and routings), and proactively troubleshoot and correct ERP transactional issues.

Close, Reconciliations & Reporting
