Description
Director, Finance & Accounting
Lead the Numbers. Influence the Business. Partner with Operations.
At ProAmpac, finance is not buried in spreadsheets and disconnected from the operation. Our finance leaders are embedded in the business, partnering directlywith plant leadership to drive performance, profitability, accountability, and operational excellence.
We're looking for a hands-on manufacturing finance leader who understands both accounting discipline and operational partnership. This role oversees the accounting and financial functions for a manufacturing plant while serving as a strategic business partner to plant leadership and corporate finance.
If you thrive in fast-paced manufacturing environments, enjoy walking the plant floor as much as analyzing financial results, and can translate numbers into action, we'd like to talk.
What You'll Do
As Director, Finance & Accounting, you'll lead the financial operations for a manufacturing facility while supporting operational decision-making across the business.
You will:
• Lead month-end and year-end close processes with accuracy and urgency
• Oversee financial reporting, forecasting, budgeting, reconciliations, and variance analysis
• Partner closely with plant leadership to improve profitability and operational performance
• Analyze labor, material, overhead, inventory, and distribution costs to identify opportunities and risks
• Support inventory accuracy and physical inventory processes while investigating variances and adjustments
• Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and corporate financial standards
• Translate financial results into meaningful business insights for operations and executive leadership
• Lead and develop plant accounting talent, including direct management of an accountant
• Serve as a trusted financial advisor to manufacturing leadership, helping drive strategic and operational decisions
This is a role for someone who wants visibility, influence, and the opportunity to impact the business beyond traditional accounting responsibilities.
