Plant Controller: Strategic Finance Leader (Manufacturing)

Are you ready to own the financial landscape for a high-impact manufacturing site within a Private Equity-backed global leader? We are seeking a dynamic, hands-on Plant Controller to serve as the financial architect for a key healthcare manufacturing facility.

This is a high-visibility, predominantly remote role (with occasional travel to the Philadelphia/Wayne, PA area) that offers the autonomy of a standalone position backed by the resources of a global corporate engine.

As the sole financial lead for the site, you are the bridge between manufacturing reality and corporate strategy. You will dive deep into production financials, managing the pulse of the plant through rigorous cost accounting, budgeting, and forward-looking projections.

 
location: Wayne, Pennsylvania
job type: Permanent
salary: $100,000 - 130,000 per year
work hours: 9 to 5
education: Bachelor's degree
experience: 5 Years
 
responsibilities:

• Oversee Standard Cost Accounting, including detailed analysis of raw materials, labor, and overhead rates.
• Track and explain PPV (Purchase Price Variance) and labor efficiencies to identify cost-saving opportunities.
• Build and drive the annual budget and monthly forecasting cycles, providing "Mid-Month Flash" figures for Sales and EBITDA.
• Capital Management: Oversee CAPEX project spend, ensuring investments are tracked against budget and driving the intended ROI.
• Full ownership of the site's P&L and Balance Sheet, from the granular details of Purchase Price Variance (PPV) to high-level reporting.
• Move beyond the "close" to build robust budgeting and forecasting models that guide site leadership.
• While you lead the site's finance function independently, you will partner with a centralized Corporate AP team to ensure seamless financial execution.
• Act as the primary site contact for Corporate Accounting, AP, and Tax to ensure site-level data is processed accurately by the central team.

 
qualifications:

• Deep understanding of manufacturing systems, specifically Raw Material costs, Labor, and Standard Costing.
• Budgeting & Forecasting: Experience setting up and managing complex financial models for forecasting and annual planning.
• A self-starter who thrives in a remote environment but knows how to navigate a corporate matrix to ensure AP and other functions are handled correctly.
• Bachelor's in Accounting or Business with 5+ years of broad financial experience.
