As a Senior FP&A Cost Analyst, you will lead end-to-end cost management across new product introductions and the existing portfolio, setting strategic cost targets that align with global business objectives. You will serve as the central link between finance, engineering, procurement, and operations — turning data into decisions that protect and grow business profitability.

Key responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — ODT, TEC, R&D, Procurement, Marketing, and Global Operations — to drive cost optimization initiatives and ensure achievement of long-term cost reduction goals.
• Develop and enhance cost management systems and processes; establish standardized cost analysis models and lead process improvement projects to increase efficiency and accuracy.
• Conduct in-depth cost structure analysis, commodity price trend forecasting, and competitive cost benchmarking; deliver strategic insights and recommendations to global executive teams.
• Oversee cost tape preparation and validation for new product launches; ensure compliance with global launch schedules and mitigate cost-related risks throughout the product lifecycle.
• Monitor global commodity markets and industry cost trends; proactively identify potential fluctuations and risks, and develop contingency plans to protect business profitability.
• Represent cost management in global cross-functional initiatives; drive alignment on cost priorities and ensure cost considerations are embedded in product development and business planning.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Finance, Economics, Engineering, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
• 8+ years of progressive experience in cost management, project management, or supply chain management, with at least 3 years of experience in the storage industry or ODM/OEM manufacturing, preferably in a global technology company.
