• Manage capital planning, ROI analysis, and post-project financial audits
• Support ERP system implementation and improve financial visibility for new product development
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives and implement best practices across the business unit
• Develop and mentor a team of four, fostering a culture of ownership and accountability

• Hands-on approach, comfortable working at both strategic and tactical levels in a business that operates with a high degree of autonomy
• Proven leadership experience, including direct people management
• Stable work history—seeking someone committed to staying in the role for at least three years
