Job Summary
Our client is looking for a detail-oriented and curious individual to join their Costing Team. This role is ideal for someone with an operational background (logistics, supply chain, stock control, or exports) and who is interested in developing into a more financial and analytical role.
You will work closely with the operations and finance teams to understand, track, and analyse the costs involved in exporting fruit.
Over time, you will build a strong understanding of cost structures and contribute to improving how to calculate, manage, and report on costs.
This is a great opportunity to transition into cost accounting while using your operational experience to add business value.
Duties:
* Capture and validate cost data across the export supply chain
* Analyse cost movements and identify discrepancies or trends
* Assist in building and improving costing models and tools
* Work with operational teams (logistics, procurement, stock) to understand cost drivers
* Support the automation and improvement of costing processes
* Contribute to reporting that helps the business make better decisions
My client will look at candidates from both finance and operations backgrounds, particularly:
* Logistics Coordinators
* Supply Chain or Stock Controllers
* Export or Operations Administrators
* Junior Analysts with strong Excel skills
Requirements:
* Relevant degree or diploma (Finance, Supply Chain, Logistics) is beneficial
* 1 – 3 Years’ experience in operations, logistics, supply chain, or finance
* Exposure to costing, reporting, or data analysis is beneficial but not required
* Experience in fruit exports or agriculture is an advantage
Advantageous but not required:
* Exposure to Power BI or reporting tools
* Experience working with large datasets
* Interest in automation or process improvement
Why apply for this role:
* Opportunity to move into cost accounting from operations
* Hands-on exposure to the full export supply chain
* Work in a team that values improvement, curiosity, and innovation
* Real opportunity to shape systems and processes
