Job description
Structured overview of role & requirements
About This Role
- Own quarterly and annual RFQ cycles for strategic hardware commodities, including quote governance, attribute-drift analysis, and Oracle CG1 standard-cost roll-ups.
- Build cost and variance models; identify cost gaps and manage PPV, supplier buydown, and MUV issues to support accurate cost freezes and margin decisions.
- Apply GenAI and automation to quoting workflows, while coordinating with commodity, engineering, finance, and manufacturing partners to resolve operational and master-data issues.
Minimum Requirements
- Work Experience Required: 6+ years in hardware supply chain analytics, procurement cost engineering, direct material cost management, or financial operations in high-tech or manufacturing.
- Bachelor’s degree in supply chain management, industrial engineering, business analytics, finance, operations research, economics, or a related quantitative field.
- Expert Excel skills for financial modelling, reconciliations, advanced formulas, and Power Query; strong financial acumen to assess and communicate business cost impacts.
- Experience building enterprise dashboards and data pipelines using Power BI or Tableau, hands-on SQL/Snowflake, and demonstrated use of GenAI, LLM prompt engineering, and basic scripting.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Has direct exposure to hardware BOM costing, component manufacturing cost drivers, and non-material cost items such as PPV, buydowns, and MUV.
- Can operate rigorously against recurring quarterly cost cycles, reconcile complex data, and turn cost and spend variances into decision-ready analysis.
- Has experience working across commodity, engineering, finance, and manufacturing functions, with the ability to explain complex analysis to executives; ERP, PLM, or sourcing-platform knowledge is a plus.
