Plant Controller
CarsonLynch Professional Search
A global manufacturing organization is seeking a Plant Controller to serve as the senior finance leader for a large, complex manufacturing operation. This is far more than a traditional accounting role. You'll partner directly with plant leadership, influence key business decisions, and help drive financial and operational performance across the facility.
This is an opportunity for a hands-on manufacturing finance professional who enjoys being on the plant floor, collaborating with operations, and turning financial data into business action.
What You'll Do
- Serve as the primary finance business partner to plant leadership
- Lead budgeting, forecasting, and monthly financial reporting processes
- Analyze manufacturing performance, labor utilization, inventory, scrap, and production variances
- Drive cost reduction initiatives and operational improvement efforts
- Provide insight and recommendations to improve profitability and performance
- Oversee standard costing, inventory controls, and inventory valuation processes
- Support capital investment analysis and strategic decision-making
- Lead and develop plant accounting and finance personnel
- Ensure compliance with internal controls, accounting policies, and financial reporting requirements
What Makes This Opportunity Different
- Highly visible leadership position with direct exposure to executive and operational leadership
- Opportunity to influence business decisions, not just report results
- Large-scale manufacturing environment with meaningful operational complexity
- Strong partnership with operations, supply chain, and plant leadership
- Career growth potential within a global organization
- Ability to make a measurable impact on both financial and operational performance
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related discipline
- Progressive experience in manufacturing finance, cost accounting, or plant controllership
- Strong understanding of standard costing, inventory accounting, and manufacturing operations
- Experience partnering with plant leadership and operational teams
- Demonstrated success driving process improvements and cost-saving initiatives
- Advanced analytical, financial modeling, and business partnering skills
- Experience supporting large, multi-site or complex manufacturing operations
If you're looking for a role where you'll have a true seat at the leadership table and the ability to impact business performance on a daily basis, we'd welcome the opportunity to connect!
