POSTED ON 8/12/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 9/9/2026
Ready to take on a highly visible finance leadership role with a growing publicly traded company?

We’re seeking an experienced Director Finance to lead financial operations across two manufacturing facilities and serve as a strategic partner to operational and executive leadership. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on financial performance, operational efficiency, and the continued growth of an organization investing significantly in its people and operations.

Compensation: $145,000–$170,000 base salary 25% bonus 20% LTI

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Join a publicly traded organization experiencing significant growth and investment
  • Step into a high-visibility leadership role with regular exposure to plant and executive leadership
  • Play a key role in improving operational performance, cost structure, and financial results
  • Join a growth-focused environment actively expanding its workforce and operations
  • Receive a comprehensive benefits package, including low health insurance premiums and a 5% 401(k) match

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead financial operations across two manufacturing facilities
  • Oversee monthly close, financial reporting, cost accounting, and inventory management
  • Partner closely with operations leadership to drive improvements in cost structure, productivity, and labor efficiency
  • Manage revenue recognition, standard costing, inventory controls, and related financial processes
  • Lead production budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning activities
  • Ensure SOX compliance and maintain effective internal controls
  • Analyze operational and financial performance to identify risks, opportunities, and areas for improvement
  • Lead, mentor, and develop the finance and accounting team
  • Provide financial insight and recommendations to support strategic and operational decision-making

Qualifications

  • Manufacturing finance leadership experience, ideally as a Plant Controller or in a comparable role
  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
  • Strong background in cost accounting, inventory management, and manufacturing finance
  • Experience with ERP systems; Epicor experience is preferred
  • Strong business-partnering skills with the ability to work effectively across finance and operations
  • CPA and/or MBA preferred

This role is well suited for a manufacturing finance leader who enjoys being close to the business, partnering with operations, developing teams, and driving measurable improvements in financial and operational performance.
