Job Description & How to Apply Below
A global manufacturing organization is seeking a hands-on, business-minded Multi-Site Plant Controller to support several production facilities in the city.
This is a high-visibility leadership role partnering directly with Operations to drive performance, improve margins, and strengthen financial controls across both sites.
If you enjoy being on the plant floor, influencing operational decisions, and turning financial data into actionable insight, this opportunity offers real impact.
What You’ll Own
- Full plant-level P&L oversight for two manufacturing sites
- Cost accounting, standard costing, and variance analysis (labor, overhead, PPV, scrap)
- Inventory management and working capital optimization
- Forecasting and budgeting for both P&L and Balance Sheet
- Capital expenditure analysis and ROI modeling
- Support for pricing, quoting, and margin improvement initiatives
- Strengthening internal controls and compliance processes
- Driving ERP and reporting process improvements
This role is not just reporting — it is a true finance business partner position embedded within
operations.
What We’re Looking For
- 7+ years of progressive finance/accounting experience
- Strong manufacturing and plant finance background required
- Deep understanding of standard costing and variance analysis
- ERP experience (SAP, Oracle, JDE, or similar)
- Experience partnering with plant leadership
- Strong analytical and communication skills
- CPA, CMA, or MBA preferred
Why This Role Stands Out
- High visibility with senior leadership
- Opportunity to influence operational strategy
- Stable, growth-oriented manufacturing environment
- Competitive compensation and benefits
Location:
Chicago, IL (hybrid, 3 days/week onsite, 2 remote)
