Description

Director, Finance & Accounting

Lead the Numbers. Influence the Business. Partner with Operations.
At ProAmpac, finance is not buried in spreadsheets and disconnected from the operation. Our finance leaders are embedded in the business, partnering directly with plant leadership to drive performance, profitability, accountability, and operational excellence. We're looking for a hands-on manufacturing finance leader who understands both accounting discipline and operational partnership. This role oversees the accounting and financial functions for a manufacturing plant while serving as a strategic business partner to plant leadership and corporate finance. If you thrive in fast-paced manufacturing environments, enjoy walking the plant floor as much as analyzing financial results, and can translate numbers into action, we'd like to talk.
What You'll Do

As Director, Finance & Accounting, you'll lead the financial operations for a manufacturing facility while supporting operational decision-making across the business. You will:
Lead month-end and year-end close processes with accuracy and urgency
Oversee financial reporting, forecasting, budgeting, reconciliations, and variance analysis
Partner closely with plant leadership to improve profitability and operational performance
Analyze labor, material, overhead, inventory, and distribution costs to identify opportunities and risks
Support inventory accuracy and physical inventory processes while investigating variances and adjustments
Ensure compliance with GAAP, internal controls, and corporate financial standards
Translate financial results into meaningful business insights for operations and executive leadership
Lead and develop plant accounting talent, including direct management of an accountant
Serve as a trusted financial advisor to manufacturing leadership, helping drive strategic and operational decisions
This is a role for someone who wants visibility, influence, and the opportunity to impact the business beyond traditional accounting responsibilities.
Travel to sites as needed (This is a remote role with a preference for location in Central/Eastern time zones)
What We're Looking For

We're seeking a finance and accounting leader with strong manufacturing experience and the ability to operate both strategically and tactically.
Ideal candidates will bring:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
Strong manufacturing finance and accounting experience
Experience supporting plant operations in a manufacturing environment
Background in financial reporting, forecasting, cost analysis, and variance analysis
ERP/MRP system experience, with exposure to systems like PeopleSoft a plus
Advanced Excel and financial systems capabilities
Strong communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence across operations and finance
A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with strong business acumen
Experience leading or mentoring accounting staff
Public accounting experience, particularly within a Big 4 environment, is valued
Why ProAmpac?

At ProAmpac, you'll join a growing global packaging manufacturer where finance leaders play an active role in shaping business outcomes. This is an opportunity to:
Partner directly with operational leadership
Influence plant performance and profitability
Work in an environment where decisions move quickly
Be part of a company focused on growth, innovation, and continuous improvement
Build your career within a collaborative manufacturing organization that values accountability, ownership, and initiative
If you're looking for a finance leadership role where you can combine accounting expertise with operational partnership and business impact, we encourage you to apply.
