Director of Finance

Ready to step into a Director of Finance role where you'll have a visible impact on a growing manufacturing business and help shape financial strategy from the ground up? This Director of Finance opportunity offers executive-level exposure, operational influence, and a clear path for career growth.

Salary: $150,000 - $170,000 Base + Bonus
Location: 100% Onsite. Open to candidates within a reasonable commute range of company headquarters.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Join a newly created Director of Finance position with significant visibility and influence across a major business unit.
• Work directly with executive leadership, including the CFO, VP of Finance, and senior operational leaders.
• Lead financial strategy for a high-revenue manufacturing operation that plays a critical role within the organization.
• Gain exposure to capital planning, operational decision-making, and long-term business strategy.
• Enjoy strong upward mobility opportunities within finance leadership and broader business operations.
• Partner closely with operations, sales, and plant leadership rather than being confined to a traditional corporate finance environment.
• Make a meaningful impact by building processes, reporting structures, and financial insights that drive business performance.
• Receive a competitive compensation package with bonus potential, comprehensive benefits, and professional development resources.
• Be part of a growing, investment-backed organization with a strong commitment to innovation and infrastructure expansion.
• Take ownership as a strategic Director of Finance while maintaining a strong presence within business operations.

Key Responsibilities for the Director of Finance:

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, capital planning, and long-range financial strategy.
• Oversee monthly and annual financial reporting, analysis, and close processes.
• Partner with operations and leadership teams to improve profitability and performance.
• Drive cost accounting, margin analysis, and project-based financial management.
• Evaluate capital investments and provide ROI recommendations.
• Develop financial models, KPIs, and reporting tools to identify risks and opportunities.

Qualifications for the Director of Finance:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field; CPA strongly preferred.
• 8–10+ years of progressive finance and accounting experience within manufacturing environments.
• Experience leading teams and supporting executive-level decision-making.
• Background in project-based or percentage-of-completion accounting and ERP systems.

The ideal Director of Finance will combine manufacturing finance expertise with strategic leadership capabilities. This Director of Finance role is perfect for someone seeking greater influence, executive exposure, and long-term advancement. If you're an experienced Director of Finance ready to drive operational and financial performance, this Director of Finance opportunity offers an outstanding next step in your career.
