Track and investigate standard vs. actual cost variances with Production and Procurement

Coordinate assessments and notices with consultants when required

MIS & Financial Reporting

Own monthly financial closure within defined timelines

Prepare actionable MIS: product-level P&L, margin analysis, inventory aging, working capital

Track cost variances vs. budget and flag risks early

Build decision-support reports not data dumps
