Drive profitability. Influence strategy. Improve operations.

We're partnering with a leading global logistics and supply chain organization to identify a Finance Manager, Operations who will play a critical role in supporting a large-scale Contract Logistics business across multiple locations in the United States.

This is more than a traditional accounting or finance position. We're seeking a strategic finance professional who enjoys digging into operational performance, identifying cost drivers, uncovering opportunities, and partnering with business leaders to improve profitability and decision-making.

If you're passionate about financial analysis, operational excellence, and influencing business outcomes, this is an opportunity to make a measurable impact within a complex, fast-moving environment.

What You'll Do

• Partner with operational and business leaders to provide financial insights and support strategic decision-making.
• Lead forecasting, budgeting, and annual planning processes.
• Analyze financial and operational performance to identify risks, trends, and opportunities.
• Develop and implement action plans to improve profitability and cost control.
• Monitor KPIs and provide recommendations that drive operational efficiency.
• Support month-end close activities, including revenue, cost, and gross profit analysis.
• Evaluate customer, site, and business unit profitability.
• Participate in new business reviews, investments, and financial modeling initiatives.
• Ensure compliance with internal controls, financial policies, and reporting standards.
• Collaborate across multiple locations to establish best practices and consistency in financial processes.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• CPA preferred.
• 7 years of progressive finance, controllership, FP&A, or operational finance experience.
• Experience supporting multi-site operations and complex business environments.
• Strong financial planning, forecasting, and analytical skills.
• Ability to translate financial data into actionable business recommendations.
• Executive-level communication and presentation abilities.
• Proven success influencing stakeholders across operations and finance.
• Experience within logistics, supply chain, distribution, manufacturing, transportation, or 3PL environments strongly preferred.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• High visibility role with direct exposure to senior leadership.
• Opportunity to influence business performance at a national level.
• Blend of finance, operations, and strategy.
• Complex, data-driven environment where your recommendations directly impact profitability.
• Strong organizational stability, growth, and career advancement potential.
• Collaborative culture focused on continuous improvement and operational excellence.
