If you’ve got a knack for manufacturing finance and love working with both numbers and people, we’d love to have you on board!

Job Description:

• Production Cost Analysis: Dig into manufacturing costs—labor, materials, overhead—and report on what’s driving efficiency and profitability. Provide actionable insights to refine our quoting process.
• Financial Planning & Budgeting: Lead our annual budgeting process, covering production, labor, materials, and beyond, while managing quarterly forecasts and long-term plans to keep us ahead of the curve.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary with room for growth and bonuses tied to performance.
• Full benefits package—health, dental, vision, and more.
• A team-oriented culture where your work makes a real impact.

Requirements

Qualifications:

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or a related field. Advanced degree (MBA) or CPA is a bonus but not required.
• Experience: 5+ years in financial planning and analysis, including at least 3 years in a managerial role. Experience in manufacturing finance is a must.
• Manufacturing Expertise: Deep knowledge of manufacturing cost structures—labor, materials, production processes—and how they connect to financial outcomes.
• Technical Skills: Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills are non-negotiable. Experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle) and BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI) is a strong plus.
• Analytical Mindset: Sharp ability to break down complex data—costs, returns, trends—and turn it into insights that spark action.
• Communication: Great at explaining numbers in a way that clicks for both finance experts and operational teams—no jargon, just clarity.

Preferred Skills

• Experience analyzing ROI for manufacturing investments (e.g., equipment, process improvements).
• Familiarity with production quoting or cost estimation in a manufacturing setting.
• Comfort leading a team in a hands-on, fast-paced environment.
