Ready to Take Your Finance Career to the Next Level?

Are you an accomplished Controller or finance leader ready for greater responsibility, executive-level influence, and the opportunity to help shape the future of a growing company?

A well-established, privately held, private equity-sponsored manufacturer of construction products is seeking a hands-on, strategic Vice President of Finance / Controller to lead its financial operations and play a key role in its next phase of growth.

If you're ready for a position where your ideas, leadership, and financial expertise can make a real difference, this could be your next career move.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Executive-Level Visibility: Work directly with the CEO and provide meaningful financial insights to senior leadership and the Board.
• Career Growth: Ideal for an experienced Controller or Finance Manager ready to expand into a broader executive leadership role.
• Make a Real Impact: Take ownership of the finance function and help strengthen the financial systems, processes, and strategies that support company growth.
• Strategic Influence: Play an important role in financial planning, business decisions, operational improvements, and long-term strategy.
• Leadership Opportunity: Build, mentor, and develop a strong finance team while creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
• Growth-Focused Environment: Join an established manufacturing business with private equity support and opportunities for continued operational expansion.
