Finance Manager, Product Cost

THE ROLE

As the Product COGS Manager, you will serve as the strategic financial engine driving product cost optimization and gross margin precision across Everpure's cutting-edge hardware solutions. Partnering directly with Global Supply Chain Operations, Commodity Management, Engineering, Procurement, and contract manufacturing partners, you will transform complex part-level data into high-impact operational intelligence. This role offers high visibility and functional ownership over standard costing, PPV/IR forecasting, and product lifecycle strategy from NPI to EOL. You will bridge hardware operational decisions with bottom-line profitability, shaping the financial rhythms that enable Everpure to scale efficiently.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Drive Standard Cost & PPV Governance: Own the standard cost review process and forecast Purchase Price Variance (PPV) and Inventory Revaluation (IR) drivers to maximize cost accuracy, protect gross margins, and optimize inventory levels.
• Lead Cross-Functional Financial Strategy: Partner with Global Supply Chain Operations, Engineering, Procurement, Commodity Management, Materials Management, and contract manufacturers to align cost inputs, resolve variances, and establish cross-functional accountability across the supply chain.
• Manage Lifecycle Product Profitability: Perform financial evaluations for New Product Introductions (NPI) and End-of-Life (EOL) transitions, establishing target costs, tracking ramp schedules, and mitigating obsolescence exposure.
• Establish Scalable Financial Controls: Build and maintain robust forecasting models, standardized process documentation, and data governance controls to ensure repeatable, executive-ready reporting for close and long-term planning routines.

WHAT YOU BRING

• Supply Chain & Cost Accounting Expertise: Deep proficiency in standard costing, purchase price variance (PPV), inventory accounting, and cost-of-goods-sold (COGS) financial modeling within hardware manufacturing or technology production environments.
• Product Lifecycle & Sourcing Strategy Skills: Demonstrated experience evaluating NPI/EOL cost dynamics, analyzing design or sourcing trade-offs, and financial modeling related to supplier negotiations and contract-manufacturer operations.
• Process Design & Cross-Functional Partnership: Proven ability to establish internal financial controls, create standardized cross-functional workflows, and partner effectively across engineering, procurement, operations teams, and external suppliers.
• Data Synthesis & Analytical Mastery: Expertise in converting large volumes of complex part-level and supplier data into actionable operational insights and executive-ready decision tools.
• Location: We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara, CA office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.
