The Enterprise Cost Accountant is responsible for standardizing and overseeing cost accounting practices — Bills of Materials, production Routings, and Cost Structures — across all four City Brewing locations.

• Serve as the enterprise subject matter expert and system owner for costing modules within the ERP/MRP platform
• Develop and enforce costing policies and internal controls supporting audit readiness and inventory valuation integrity

• Consolidate SKU-level and site-level cost and margin data into a unified enterprise view for leadership
• Analyze cross-site cost variances — labor rates, overhead absorption, yield, freight — to identify best practices and improvement opportunities
• Build and maintain enterprise dashboards and standard reporting on cost trends and margin by SKU, site, package type, and brand family
• Support corporate budgeting, forecasting, physical inventory counts, and audit requests requiring consolidated cost data

• Partner with plant management, operations, procurement, and commercial leadership across all locations to ensure costing reflects operational reality
• Support cost analysis for new product development, capital projects, new site onboarding, and co-packing or contract arrangements
• Partner with the Corporate Controller and Finance leadership on internal controls related to inventory valuation and cost accounting

• Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or a related field required
• 5+ years of cost accounting or manufacturing finance experience, including exposure to multi-site or enterprise-level cost responsibility;
• Experience within brewery, beverage, food & beverage, or CPG manufacturing strongly preferred
• Demonstrated experience building, standardizing, or auditing BOMs, routings, and standard costing methodology within an ERP/MRP system, ideally across multiple facilities
• Familiarity with industrial brewing process and terminology, preferred
• Strong understanding of standard costing, variance analysis, and overhead absorption methodologies
• Advanced Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, modeling); experience with BI tools such as Power BI or Tableau, preferred
• Willingness to spend time on the production floor at multiple locations to validate that data reflects operational reality
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate cost details into actionable insight for non-finance stakeholders and to drive consistent practices across site teams
• Ability to travel 10% domestically during the year
