• Strong understanding of product costing, material variance, and plant-level P&L impacts


• Mastery of Excel, with the ability to build data models, track capacity constraints, and turn raw ERP data into actionable operational strategies


• A hands-on, "roll-up-your-sleeves" leader who transitions smoothly between high-level material planning and troubleshooting on the plant floor
