Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Join an innovative, growth-focused life sciences organization at a pivotal stage of expansion.

Oversee inventory accounting, costing, and cost of goods sold (COGS) activities.
Manage inventory costing methodologies and item maintenance within NetSuite.
Support month-end close, inventory reconciliations, and variance analysis.

Partner with cross-functional teams to improve inventory accuracy, processes, and reporting.
Qualifications for the Sr Cost Accountant:
6+ years of cost accounting and inventory accounting experience within biotech, life sciences, manufacturing, or a related industry.
Strong knowledge of inventory costing, COGS, reconciliations, and month-end close processes.
Experience with NetSuite and advanced Excel skills highly desired.
