Job Expectation & Required Expertise

A) Managerial Costing & Pricing (Core)

• Build end-to-end cost models starting from EXW/FOB: factory inland trucking, export THC/docs, ocean/air freight, insurance, landing charge, FX + spread, Bangladesh import taxes (CD, RD, SD, VAT, ATV, AIT), port/scan, C&F, demurrage, inland to warehouse, DGDA/Drug NOC & regulatory fees, delivery/last-mile.
• Convert shipment-level costs into precise unit landed cost (wastage/shortage factored).
• Allocate overheads (warehouse, staff, admin, utilities, marketing, depreciation, last-mile) into unit cost using activity-based or volume drivers.
• Run post-costing after quotations/POs & after VAT/tax deductions to confirm actual gross margin vs target (e.g., 25%).
• Produce price recommendations: ex-VAT & VAT-inclusive; backward costing to validate target margins in tenders/hospital quotes.
• Maintain standard cost per SKU; analyze purchase price variance & freight/tax variance by shipment.

B) Planning, Forecasting & Profitability

• Build liquidation timelines (sell-through velocity, collection days, cash burn) to ensure revenue covers fixed costs and margin targets.
• Create import allocation plans by margin & working-capital impact (mix, MOQ, lead times, LC tenor).
• Conduct SKU profitability (GM, contribution, CM per constrained resource) and break-even analyses.
• Prepare rolling forecasts for sales, GM, opex, cash, and inventory (90/180/360-day views).

C) Import/Trade Finance & Compliance

• Handle LC life cycle: opening, usance/sight terms, advising/SWIFT, discrepancy management; back-to-back LCs where applicable.

• Stay current on tariff classification and trade rules; track duties, taxes, and service fees; maintain complete customs records.

• Support audit (statutory & tax) with clean schedules and reconciliations.

E) Operations, Systems & Collaboration

• Coordinate with procurement, sales, and logistics to sync lead times, landed cost, and pricing.
• Own and improve the costing/pricing model (Excel/Google Sheets/ERP); automate with Power Query/Pivot and clear dashboards.
