Leverage advanced SAP tools and large-scale data analytics to resolve cost center discrepancies, prepare monthly executive costing reports, and support cross-functional stakeholders.

Serve as the lead financial partner for our Sanford, Maine manufacturing facility.

Proven ability to partner effectively with cross-functional supply chain, manufacturing, and commercial teams.
