What You'll Do - Key Responsibilities: - Lead the preparation of monthly and annual budgets, forecasts, and financial projections.
- Review monthly financial results and drive actions that improve margins and cash flow.
- Assess the accuracy of financial results and prepare performance reporting for the executive team in partnership with the Corporate Controller.

- Lead and support financial staff across the organization's manufacturing plants.
- Review operational capital expenditure recommendations using projected return-on-investment calculations.
- Evaluate financial and operational risks and develop plans to mitigate exposure.
- Analyze labor costs, material costs, manufacturing overhead, bills of materials, and inventory levels.
- Partner with manufacturing, finance, and commercial leaders to identify issues and drive timely resolutions.
- Identify process-improvement opportunities and internal-control weaknesses, then lead corrective actions.
- Analyze potential excess and obsolete inventory each month.
- Review and update standard overhead rates and labor costs as needed.
- Evaluate internal controls to help safeguard company assets and support accurate financial reporting.
- Assist with special projects and other strategic business initiatives.
What We're Looking For- Three or more years of financial planning experience.
- Knowledge of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, or GAAP.
- Strong understanding of inventory valuation and the transactional implications of material management.
- Proven leadership capabilities and the ability to effectively manage a global team.
- Strong interpersonal, communication, and organizational skills.
- The ability to communicate clearly with internal and external stakeholders.
- A self-motivated, hands-on approach to new challenges.
- The ability to manage projects from initial planning through completion.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
What Success Looks LikeThis position offers the opportunity to influence financial and operational performance throughout a manufacturing organization.
