About the roleOwn product costing, inventory valuation and margin reporting across our two chemical plants. You will set up and run standard costing and Material Ledger actual costing in S/4HANA, lead the plant cost accounting close with the plant controllers, and support cost-based customer pricing.
We are standing up S/4HANA with no legacy SAP team in place to train or support new hires, so we need people who have already done this work in S/4HANA and can operate independently from their first week.

- Lead the plant cost close with plant controllers: process order WIP, variances and settlement, by-product and co-product costing
- Design and maintain allocation cycles and Margin Analysis reporting by product and customer
- Support cost-plus customer pricing with clear, auditable cost build-ups
- Own inventory valuation, capitalized variances, and excess and obsolete reserve methodology; support the external audit
- Lead the go-live change to activity-based standards and explain the impact on inventory and margins
What you will bring- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; CPA or CMA preferred
- 8+ years of cost accounting in process manufacturing (chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers or similar)
- 3+ years of hands-on SAP S/4HANA CO-PC experience, including Material Ledger with actual costing, process orders, WIP and variance calculation, and settlement
- At least one full S/4HANA implementation or migration as a key user or lead

- Competitive base salary, annual bonus and a full benefits package
