• Process expertise and team support: Serve as a knowledgeable resource for established cost-accounting processes and systems. Provide peer guidance and training, maintain process documentation and checklists, identify opportunities to improve accuracy and efficiency, and assist with testing and implementation of process or system changes.
• Support the Cost Accounting Manager and accounting leadership with special projects, priority research, and other duties within the scope and level of the role.
