Costing Manager

The Manager Costing & Pricing Strategy in Bangalore serves as the "financial guardian" for the product lifecycle, primarily focused on the automotive aftermarket.

In brief, the role involves:

• Tax & Compliance Management: Overseeing HSN codes for thousands of SKUs and ensuring accurate calculation of GST, Input Tax Credits (ITC), and import duties (BCD, SWS, IGST) to determine precise landed costs.
• Strategic Decision Support: Providing financial "Go/No-Go" analysis for New Product Development (NPD), setting target costs, and conducting "Make vs. Buy" analyses to optimize profitability.
• Pricing Engineering: Establishing selling prices (MSRP/DP) to meet gross margin targets while benchmarking against competitors to maintain a "Value for Money" market position.
• Key Requirements: Expertise in GST and Customs Acts, proficiency in HSN classifications for vehicles and parts, and advanced skills in ERP systems like SAP.

Success is measured by tax accuracy, the precision of NPD margin projections, and the ability to maintain competitive pricing while hitting budgeted profit targets
