Support continuous improvement: identify process bottlenecks in costing/pricing workflow and propose enhancements for speed and accuracy
Partner with operations, quality, and production planning to understand manufacturing cost drivers and constraints
Provide ad-hoc costing/pricing analysis as needed (e.g., pilot runs, new packaging variants, contract manufacturing opportunities)

2-5 years of hands-on experience in costing, pricing, quoting or proposal support—preferably in manufacturing, contract packaging, co-manufacturing, CPG or similar
