The Manager of Fulfillment Costing Methods is a highly specialized knowledge position responsible for the creation, maintenance, and provision of the Costing Methods knowledge base with respect to all Fulfillment processes - namely Mail Collection, Mail Processing, Transportation, and Delivery.

The Manager is accountable for maintaining strong relationships with cross-functional stakeholders and representing central finance in the appropriate and consistent use of cost information. The Manager requires sound experience and intimate knowledge of Mail Operations and maintains a continuous liaison with that function.

The Manager supports business case development within the Company, including the establishment of business case costing tools. The Manager also provides guidance to Cost Production and Systems for the appropriate generation of management information in multiple systems (SAP, Oros, etc.). The Manager is accountable for providing cost analyses where productionalised cost information is not generated by Cost Production and Systems.

Costing Methods provides cost analysis support to:

- Assist the functions in business case development where appropriate productionalised information is not available;
- Conduct financial due diligence evaluations for proposals (definition of facts and assumptions, financial analysis, risk assessment).
- Undertake diverse financial analysis required on an ad hoc basis and the development of analytical tools /frameworks / costing models in support of the business.
- Evaluate and analyze proposed collective agreement demands and/or concessions, including the preparation of various financial studies on contract comparisons and grievances / memorandum of agreements.

Fulfillment Costing Methods has responsibility for intimate understanding of the Corporation’s highly complex, highly diverse core operations, their costs, their cost drivers, and the behavioral implications of costing. Weaknesses in our ability to cost Fulfillment processes undermines the management decision making capability across most major functions (such as marketing, sales, strategy, finance, and operations). As such, this role represents a critical control over decision making effectiveness.

The duties require very strong analytical and communication skills (written and oral) and the ability to successfully manage across the organization and at all levels (including GM, CM and vice-president levels). Requires strong grasp of the concepts and practices of Activity Based Costing.

- Provide advance warning to the Business Measurement community when significant changes in cost structure or cost relationships are anticipated.
- Dictate the fulfillment costing methods for use in SAP for both the CO (Controlling) Module (specifically Business Process allocation and productive output tracking) and the COPA (Profitability Analysis) Module.
