• Evaluate proposed costs, bills of material, labor estimates, supplier quotations, historical actuals, and manufacturing risks; resolve discrepancies with cross-functional partners before pricing release.
• Maintain accurate pricing records, assumptions, approvals, quote status, and supporting documentation within company ERP/CRM and pricing tools; meet established quotation turnaround targets.
