Key Responsibilities for the Manufacturing Controller: • Lead standard costing, product costing, and cost-setting processes • Analyze cost variances (material, labor, overhead) and drive improvements • Oversee inventory accounting, valuation, and optimization initiatives • Support budgeting, forecasting, monthly close, and margin analysis • Partner with operations leadership to improve profitability and efficiency • Evaluate capital investments including ROI analysis and performance tracking
