Job description

MFG (Manufacturing) Segment Controller - This is an ACCOUNTING job, NOT a Finance job

• Hybrid Lead a High-Performing Accounting Organization. Shape Strategy. Drive Growth. We are a highly respected, large manufacturer seeking an exceptional Segment Controller for one of our largest and fastest-growing business units. This is far more than a traditional Controller position. You'll serve as the accounting leader for a large business unit, partnering directly with executive leadership while leading a talented team responsible for multiple manufacturing facilities across the United States. If you enjoy mentoring and developing people, influencing business decisions, improving operations, and serving as a true strategic business partner to your Unit's Finance Leader, not simply closing the books, this opportunity deserves a closer look. Why This Opportunity Stands Out
• Lead accounting for a large manufacturing unit
• Manage and mentor a high-performing team of 10 accounting professionals, including off-site Plant Controllers, and an in-house corporate accounting team
• Partner directly with an impressive unit CFO who was promoted internally
• Join an organization with an outstanding reputation for promoting from within
• Step into a well-run business with no accounting cleanup, backlogs, or operational fires
• Hybrid schedule (Monday-Thursday in office, Fridays remote)
• Limited travel (approximately 10%)
• Relocation assistance available This is an opportunity to inherit a strong team, make an immediate impact, and continue building an already successful accounting organization. What You'll Be Doing As Business Unit Controller, you'll provide financial leadership across a multi-site manufacturing operation while partnering closely with executive leadership on strategic business decisions. Responsibilities include:
• Leading all divisional accounting, financial reporting, forecasting, budgeting, and planning activities
• Providing executive leadership with meaningful financial analysis and business insights
• Developing financial strategies that improve profitability and operational performance
• Leading, mentoring, and developing a talented accounting organization
• Partnering with Plant Controllers across multiple manufacturing facilities
• Building strong relationships with Operations, Supply Chain, Sales, HR, IT, and Corporate Finance
• Driving continuous process improvements and strengthening financial controls
• Presenting financial results and recommendations to senior leadership
• Supporting strategic initiatives, capital investments, productivity improvements, and long-range planning What We're Looking For We're seeking someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves while also leading at a strategic level. The ideal candidate will have:
• Bachelor's degree
• CPA and/or MBA are a plus, but not a deal breaker
• 5+ years of progressive accounting leadership experience
• Manufacturing experience (anything tied to raw materials, plastics, pharma, or a liquid is a plus – but NOT required)
• Multi-site operational accounting experience
• Experience leading budgeting, forecasting, financial reporting, and FP&A
• Strong ERP experience (Oracle experience is a plus, but not required)
• Demonstrated success in developing and mentoring accounting professionals
• Strong executive communication and presentation skills
• Ability to influence leaders across operations and finance This is an excellent opportunity for either:
• An experienced Controller looking for a larger platform, or
• A high-performing Corporate Controller, Segment Controller, or Senior Accounting Leader ready for the next step. Compensation & Benefits
