Costing Process Manager - Standardization & Digital Enablement (6 months, 30h/w)

About the role

Pfizer's manufacturing sites build budget costs and maintain day-to-day product (SKU) costs in different ways, leading to inconsistent cost data, duplicated effort and unreliable budgeted SKU costs for Commercial Finance. This temporary 6-month, 30-hour-per-week role builds on existing "golden path" documentation and site surveys, validates them across the network and turns them into one agreed standard for how budget costs are built and SKU costs maintained, covering the full path from SAP through to GMX and downstream reporting. It also delivers a rollout roadmap in time for the 2028 budget cycle. The work location is hybrid.

Key responsibilities

• Test the golden path against how sites work today, using survey results and follow-up conversations with site finance teams.
• Design one standard process for the budget cost build and for everyday SKU costing.
• Define how costs flow from SAP into GMX and resolve the known issues at that interface.
• Review the cost center hierarchy, account maintenance and SKU/material master maintenance, and recommend a harmonized approach.
• Find ways to cut manual and offline work through SAP, AI and other digital tools.
• Work with Planning, Procurement, Master Data, SAP/Digital and Commercial Finance to build the standard.
• Deliver a costed, sequenced implementation roadmap.

Required profile

• Qualified accountant (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) or equivalent product costing experience.
• Hands-on SAP costing experience (CO-PC, CO-CCA, material master, BOMs, cost roll-ups).
• Standard costing and budget cost build experience in a multi-site manufacturing environment.
• Track record of standardizing processes across sites or entities.
• Strong analytical and process documentation skills.
• Ability to influence people across sites and functions without direct authority.
• Ability to work independently to a fixed deadline on a part-time pattern.

Preferred requirements

• Familiarity with GMX, Mosaic, Hermes and BI reporting.
• SAP S/4HANA experience.
• Experience applying AI or automation to finance processes.
• Master data governance experience.
• Experience in a regulated manufacturing environment.
