Chief Financial Officer (Martinsburg)
Chem-Pak Inc, Martinsburg, WV, United States
Chem-Pak is a third-generation, family-owned contract aerosol and liquid packaging manufacturer with 60 years of operations in Martinsburg, WV. We serve national brands across automotive, industrial, and sporting goods sectors, and we are in the middle of a meaningful transformation: we have made significant investments in our future, including a new ERP system (Microsoft Dynamics F&O), expanded facilities, and a growing portfolio of branded products alongside our established contract packaging business. These investments position us for stronger operational efficiency, enhanced scalability, and long-term growth. We need a CFO who brings strategic clarity, operational discipline, and a genuine leadership presence to help us build what comes next.
Why This Role Stands Out
Direct partnership with ownership and senior leadership
Full ownership of the finance function, with broad influence across the business
Opportunity to shape financial strategy during a pivotal period of growth and transformation
Visible impact on capital structure, ERP implementation, and long-term business performance
This role sits at the intersection of strategic finance and operational leadership. You will serve as a key voice in senior leadership decisions, provide financial guidance that drives the business forward, and help build the systems and structure needed to support continued growth.
As a hands-on executive, you will lead a team of four, manage relationships with banking, tax, and audit partners, and bring financial insight to every corner of the organization.
This role is ideal for a finance leader who thrives in a lean, fast-moving environment and wants to do more than manage a reporting function. It offers meaningful breadth, executive influence, and the chance to shape a company that is actively investing in its next chapter.
Role Overview
You will serve as Chem-Pak's lead for all financial operations, with full ownership of both strategy and execution across the finance function. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy while partnering closely with ownership and senior leadership to align financial objectives with enterprise priorities.
This role is well-suited for a leader who moves seamlessly between big-picture strategy and day-to-day financial management, creating structure where needed while staying grounded in the realities of a manufacturing operation.

Provide financial guidance on long-range planning, capital structure, , and ROI analysis of major projects and initiatives
Translate financial results into actionable insights
Partner with operations to improve margins, inventory turns and plant efficiency
Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis
Oversee financial reporting, ensuring accuracy, timeliness and compliance with GAAP
Manage relationships with banks, tax advisors, consultants, and insurance brokers
Maintain strong internal controls
Lead and develop a team of finance professionals, building a culture grounded in integrity and accountability
Manage finances across multiple corporate entities and advise on legal entity structure and governance in coordination with legal and tax advisors
Ensure maintenance of appropriate insurance coverages and oversee corporate risk mitigation strategies and compliance efforts
Contribute to benefits and compensation strategy, including 401(k) and health plan administration
What You Bring
You are a strategic, business-minded finance leader who is comfortable operating with both autonomy and accountability. You bring:
10+ years of progressive financial leadership experience, ideally in manufacturing or industrial operations
CPA required (or actively licensed equivalent)
Strong background in cost accounting, cash flow forecasting, and operational finance
Demonstrated ability to lead teams, manage external partners, and influence cross-functionally
Experience evaluating capital investments, financing options, and presenting ROI analyses to leadership
Deep understanding of risk management, insurance, and corporate compliance
High integrity, strong communication skills, and a collaborative leadership style
Strategic thinker with strong analytical skills
Additionally valued:
Familiarity with ERP systems; Microsoft Dynamics F&O experience is a plus
Experience managing 401(k) plans, benefits administration, and healthcare plan oversight
Experience supporting organizational growth, transformation, or multi-entity structures
Compensation & Benefits
$150,000+, commensurate with experience and scope
Health benefits, retirement plan, and paid time off
