Director of Finance and Administration

Boose Aluminum Foundry Co Inc ( BAF ) is seeking a Director of Finance & Administration to join our leadership team.

Founded in 1933, BAF is a fourth-generation, family-owned manufacturer of aluminum sand castings serving a diverse customer base in commercial, industrial, and military markets. For over 90 years, we have built our reputation on quality, integrity, and long-term relationships with our employees, customers, and suppliers.

This is not a typical corporate finance position.

As a key member of our leadership team, the Director of Finance & Administration will work closely with ownership and department leaders in decisions impacting nearly every aspect of the business. The successful candidate will have a meaningful voice in strategic planning, financial management, operational improvement, capital investments, employee benefits, risk management, and the long-term success of the organization.

Why Boose Aluminum Foundry?

We're not looking for someone who simply wants the next job on their resume. Many of our employees have built their careers at BAF, and we are looking for a leader who values long-term relationships and is seeking a professional home rather than simply their next position.

We're looking for a leader who wants to become an important part of a company and help guide its future. If you're looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, build strong relationships, and contribute to a business where your input matters, we'd like to hear from you.
