Take on a high-impact Manufacturing Controller role where you'll partner directly with plant leadership and influence both North American and global operations—all within a stable, growth-oriented company that values internal promotion and long-term careers.

Manufacturing Controller (Hybrid)
Salary: $110K–$130K

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
