We are seeking a highly analytical and collaborative Project Cost Performance Specialist to drive cost optimization and profitability throughout the product development lifecycle. This role is responsible for consolidating and managing Total Production Cost (TPC) forecasts, supporting project teams in achieving cost targets, and providing strategic guidance on components and vehicle adaptation costs. The role also leverages AI-enabled tools to manage and consolidate cost data, enhance analysis and identify actionable cost-reduction opportunities.

  • Facilitate recurring cross-functional reviews that support informed decision-making and cost convergence.
  • Ensure Design-to-Cost methodologies and best practices are fully integrated within project development processes.
  • Identify and promote cost reduction opportunities by leveraging product, industry, and market knowledge.
  • Collaborate with engineering and program stakeholders to balance cost, quality, performance, and customer expectations.
  • Leverage AI-enabled tools to manage and consolidate cost data, detect cost drivers and anomalies, and identify, quantify and prioritize cost-reduction opportunities.

Cost Target Development & Competitive Benchmarking

  • Support the establishment of competitive production cost targets based on industry benchmarking and market analysis.
  • Partner with Cost Engineering teams to develop robust Should-Cost models and cost-saving strategies.
  • Provide data-driven insights and recommendations that support target-setting activities and business case development.
  • Track progress toward cost objectives and engage stakeholders to proactively address gaps and drive corrective actions.
  • Challenge and support project teams in achieving alignment between production costs and financial targets.

Financial Governance & Process Excellence

  • Ensure compliance with established financial, accounting, and cost management standards.
  • Support profitability assessments and business case evaluations in partnership with finance and commercial teams.
  • Develop, standardize, and continuously improve cost forecasting methodologies, processes, and reporting tools.
  • Provide clear and actionable cost performance reporting to leadership and key stakeholders.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Finance, Business Administration or a related field
  • 5 years experience
  • Strong experience in cost analysis, product costing, manufacturing finance, program controls, or related disciplines.
  • Understanding of vehicle systems, powertrain technologies, manufacturing processes, and product development lifecycle.
