Success Guide
This role sits in a JSE listed pharmaceutical business, so your costing work will directly affect how the company prices products and manages margins. When you apply, make sure your CV clearly shows your CIMA progress and specific costing wins, like variance reductions or margin improvements you contributed to. In interviews for costing roles, expect questions about how you analyse variances and how you work with operations or sales teams to understand cost drivers. Be ready to explain your budgeting and forecasting process with real examples. Also note the recruiter keeps CVs on file for two weeks, so follow up politely if you have not heard back. Good luck.
