This is a rare opportunity to build the finance function inside a fast-growing, privately held innovator in the liquid food and beverage manufacturing space. Our client is a technology-driven, vertically integrated contract manufacturer and store-brand supplier that has grown from a single-product beginning into a diversified, multi-category operation and they're just getting started.
Founded and led by a scientist-entrepreneur, the company is now expanding into new product categories and manufacturing capabilities that few competitors nationally can match. As they scale, they need a Finance Leader who can be both a strategic partner to ownership and hands-on enough to stay close to the numbers on the plant floor. This role will own financial planning, reporting, and cost accounting across the organization, working shoulder-to-shoulder with operations, supply chain, and sales leadership. If you thrive in a business that moves fast, sometimes pivots on short notice, and wants a true partner not just a scorekeeper this is the seat for you.
