We are a growing team and are now looking for a Product Cost Specialist for a temporary assignment, covering the period from August 2026 to June 2027.

Who is your future team?

The Axis Manufacturing Capacity and Cost team is a key contributor to our company's success by developing our base of manufacturing partners and specifically securing cost competitiveness and constant improvements to our purchase costs. Your responsibility will be to ensure the right cost on Axis products by finding opportunities and driving cost reductions from our contract manufacturers, in close collaboration with your colleagues.

• Be responsible for identifying and driving cost reduction activities towards our contract manufacturers by analyzing quotation data and having a good understanding of all relevant cost drivers.
• Work in close cooperation with our contract manufacturers to achieve timely implementation of Axis negotiated component prices in product quotations.
• Analyze and maintain product and component database from internal and external sources and create a benchmark to be used in price reduction activities with contract manufacturers.
• Support the RFQ process for new products and provide input to our product development organization regarding product cost structure and different cost drivers.
• Follow-up and optimize different parameters affecting purchase cost of components at our contract manufacturers, such as order quantities, demand changes, and delivery terms.
• Contribute and give input to process- and IT-tool improvements within the area of responsibility, independently or in collaboration with other relevant functions.

The position will involve some travel abroad.
