SCOPE OF POSITION:

As the Division Controller for West Techs, you will serve as the financial anchor for our division, reporting directly to the Executive Controller/CFO.

Through regular feedback, clear expectations, and personalized development plans, you will invest in your team while building the foundation for a larger, high-performing finance function.
