Plant Controller – Germantown, WI


Ready to step into a high-impact leadership role at a growing, global manufacturer? We’re partnering with a well-established, industry-leading organization to find a Plant Controller who will serve as a key financial leader within the plant and a strategic business partner to operations.


Why This Opportunity Stands Out



  • High-Visibility Role – Partner directly with plant leadership and influence operational decision-making

  • Growth-Oriented Organization – Be part of a company investing in its people, systems, and future

  • Ownership & Autonomy – Lead the finance function on-site and drive meaningful improvements


What You’ll Do



  • Lead all plant-level accounting and financial operations, including month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close

  • Drive budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis to support strategic and operational goals

  • Oversee cost accounting, inventory controls, and manufacturing variance analysis

  • Lead and mentor accounting staff while fostering a high-performance culture

  • Support ERP system enhancements, implementations, and process improvements


What You Bring



  • 5+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience within a manufacturing environment

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA, CMA, or MBA a plus)

  • Strong background in cost accounting, inventory, and plant finance operations

  • Experience with ERP systems and data-driven decision making

  • Proven ability to partner with operations and influence business outcomes

  • Leadership mindset with strong communication and problem-solving skills
