Cost Analyst

Salary: $60,000–$70,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• This Cost Analyst role supports a growing manufacturing company that recently expanded operations and is continuing to scale.
• The business is in an exciting growth phase, creating opportunities for someone who enjoys analytical work, process improvement, and cross‑functional partnership.
• Strong long‑term opportunity — high performers in this position can grow into a Cost Manager role as the organization continues evolving.
• Ideal for someone who thrives in a fast‑paced environment and wants to contribute to meaningful costing and pricing decisions.

Key Responsibilities for the Cost Analyst:

• Prepare accurate customer pricing quotes, developing cost and price structures and collaborating closely with operations and sales.
• Perform costing activities, including margin analysis, variance analysis, and ongoing updates to cost models.
• Support monthly close activities by assisting with updates to costing and pricing structures.
• Maintain accurate and up‑to‑date inventory costing, reporting, and cost data.
• Utilize Microsoft Dynamics and advanced Excel to analyze, track, and refine costing processes and reporting.

Qualifications for the Cost Analyst:

• Bachelor’s degree required (Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field).
• Manufacturing background preferred, with strong proficiency in Microsoft Dynamics and advanced Excel.
• Detail‑oriented, analytical, and able to work effectively in a fast‑moving, high‑pressure environment.
