Key Responsibilities:
  • Collect, analyze, and track all project costs to ensure accurate and timely reporting. Evaluate cost trends and discrepancies, identifying areas for potential savings.
  • Work closely with project stakeholders to prioritize spending by evaluating and coordinating trade-off decisions to manage the project within budget.
  • Develop, propose, and present solutions to manage and mitigate cost-related issues, ensuring the project’s financial objectives are met.

  • Advanced proficiency in data analysis and financial tracking, with the ability to interpret large data sets and provide actionable insights.
  • Demonstrated success in assessing trade-offs, prioritizing spending, and implementing cost-cutting initiatives in budget-constrained environments.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with a proven track record of effective cross-functional collaboration. Ability to present financial data clearly and advise without dictating decisions.

  • Proficiency in financial analysis software (SAP, Ariba), cost management tools, and Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, data analysis functions, etc.).
  • Certifications (Preferred): Certified Cost Professional (CCP), Project Management Professional (PMP), or other relevant certifications.
