Business Segment Controller (Paid Relo)

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.

• 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.

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

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.

• Base Salary: $180,000 - $200,000
• Annual Bonus: 20%
• Comprehensive Benefits Package
• Retirement Plan with Company Match
• Relocation Assistance Available
• Hybrid Work Schedule

Why Apply?

Some Controller roles involve fixing broken organizations.

This isn't one of them.

You'll inherit a strong accounting team, partner with outstanding executive leadership, and have the opportunity to focus on what great accounting leaders enjoy most: developing people, improving the business, and helping shape the future of a major manufacturing division.

If you're looking for a highly visible leadership opportunity with significant executive exposure and long-term career growth, we'd love to speak with you.
