The Cost Efficiency Manager is responsible for identifying, validating, and executing margin-improvement initiatives across the business unit's manufacturing and supply portfolio.

• Cost-Out Pipeline: Track, govern, and drive a rigorous multi-million-dollar cost savings pipeline, ensuring accurate projection, verification, and timing of realized savings.
• Supplier Benchmarking: Benchmark global market drivers, commodity prices, and labor rates to identify pricing anomalies and structural cost reduction opportunities across the current supply base.
• Cross-Functional Execution: Collaborate daily with Plant Operations, Product Management, Quality, and Logistics to eliminate operational friction and ensure qualification plans for low-cost sources are executed on schedule.
• Executive Reporting: Prepare and present financial cost-down metrics, business case assessments, and project risk registers directly to sourcing leadership.
