About this role
We are looking for a controller who also knows how to lead other plant controllers.
A Twin Cities manufacturer is bringing in a contract Controller to guide the plant controller function. The company runs about 20 plants, and this person would support the controllers across them while staying close to a few plants of their own.
The work is a mix of people and process:
- Mentor plant controllers on variance analysis and telling the financial story
- Standardize how the controller function runs from plant to plant
- Roll plant results up into reporting for executive leadership and the Board
- Support Plant Managers, Directors of Operations, and VPs of Operations
- Weigh in on plant closures, acquisition integrations, and ERP work
A strong fit has spent real time as a manufacturing plant controller and is comfortable with standard costing, absorption accounting, and inventory capitalization. Just as important, they can explain a variance to a plant manager on Tuesday and to a Board member the following week.
If you have led or coached a group of plant controllers, or you are the person other controllers call, we would love to hear from you.
Pay: $83.00 - $94.00 per hour
Expected hours: 40.0 per week
