Plant Controller

$135k - $155k

Creative Financial Staffing

Step into a high-impact Plant Controller role where you'll directly influence operational strategy and financial performance at a thriving food manufacturing facility. If you enjoy partnering with leadership and driving cost optimization, this is your seat at the table.

Plant Controller
Salary: $135,000 - $155,000

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:
• Direct exposure to senior leadership and influence over plant-level financial strategy
• Ownership of a full P&L within a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Opportunity to drive meaningful cost savings and operational improvements
• Be a true business partner to plant leadership-not just reporting, but shaping decisions
• Work for a stable, growing national food manufacturer with strong market presence
• Blend of strategic finance and hands-on operational analysis
• Bonus potential plus comprehensive benefits including 401(k) match
• Collaborative culture focused on ownership, growth, and continuous improvement

Key Responsibilities for the Plant Controller:
• Manage plant budgets including labor, materials, and operational costs
• Analyze manufacturing variances and recommend corrective actions
• Lead month-end close and report financial results to leadership
• Monitor inventory valuation and ensure accuracy of adjustments
• Identify cost reduction opportunities across all cost drivers
• Maintain internal controls and support ERP system utilization

Qualifications for the Plant Controller:
• Bachelor's in Accounting or 7+ years of relevant experience
• 2+ years of Plant Controller experience
• Inventory and manufacturing accounting experience preferred
• Exposure to ERP systems and Microsoft Excel
