You’ll shape budgets and forecasts, build business cases for capital investments, and turn plant-level cost and KPI data into decisions that improve profitability. You’ll lead the finance, accounting and IT teams across both sites, with a Site Controller and an Accounting Supervisor reporting to you. You’ll also have room to coach and develop your team and strengthen systems, controls and processes as the business grows.
You’ll also be part of Amphenol’s global network of business unit controllers. That gives you the backing of a large organization while you keep the visibility and impact of leading a focused business.
What you bring:
- 10 years of progressive financial and management accounting experience
- 5 years as a Controller in a manufacturing company
- Strong cost accounting, inventory and month-end close experience under US GAAP
- A bachelor’s degree in accounting or business administration (CPA or MBA preferred)
- U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain a U.S. Government security clearance, which the role requires because of the business’s defense work
- Willingness to travel up to 25%, including trips to our Maryland site and international travel
It’s a plus if you have: DoD contract cost and pricing or FAR experience, IFS or Made2Manage (M2M), and experience leading an IT function.
