Why This Opportunity Stands Out: • Hybrid schedule (4 days onsite) offering flexibility and strong collaboration • High-visibility role with direct exposure to plant and global leadership • Strong total rewards package including 4 weeks PTO and 8% 401(k) match • Clear focus on promoting from within and long-term career advancement • Opportunity to directly impact profitability, cost structure, and operations • Stable, established company with 100+ years of industry leadership • Collaborative, family-oriented culture with strong tenure across teams • Exposure to multi-site and international manufacturing operations

Key Responsibilities for the Manufacturing Controller: • Lead standard costing, product costing, and cost-setting processes • Analyze cost variances (material, labor, overhead) and drive improvements • Oversee inventory accounting, valuation, and optimization initiatives • Support budgeting, forecasting, monthly close, and margin analysis • Partner with operations leadership to improve profitability and efficiency • Evaluate capital investments including ROI analysis and performance tracking

Qualifications for the Manufacturing Controller: • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting (MBA or CPA preferred) • 5+ years of manufacturing finance or cost accounting experience • Strong expertise in standard costing, inventory, and financial analysis • Advanced Excel skills and ERP system experience required
