Our client is a well-established, PE-backed manufacturer. This is a strategic hire; a builder's role with a mandate to modernize the company's financial operations and position the organization for its next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
The Controller will serve as a key partner to senior finance leadership, overseeing the full controllership function while leading a comprehensive transformation of the company's financial infrastructure, processes, and systems. This includes designing and building out a future-state accounting organization — with both on-shore and off-shore resources — to drive efficiency, scalability, and controls across a complex, multi-entity global business.
