  • Support corporate finance during external audits.
  • Identify and implement process improvements across finance and operational reporting.

What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
  • 5+ years of experience in manufacturing finance or plant controllership.
  • Strong knowledge of cost accounting, BOMs, WIP, and production costing.
  • Proficiency with ERP systems and advanced Excel skills.
  • Experience with inventory management in a job-shop manufacturing setting.
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
  • Proven ability to influence cross-functional teams and serve as a business partner.
  • Organized, adaptable, and driven by continuous improvement.
  • Why Join Us

    This is more than just a finance role—it’s a chance to be a strategic advisor and changemaker within a growing manufacturing environment. You’ll work side by side with plant leadership, gain exposure to corporate finance, and have a direct impact on operational success.
