Job Description

North American Controller

This is not your typical Controller role. This is a chance to step into an exceptional leadership opportunity with a company that has a phenomenal culture, strong growth trajectory, and a clear vision for transformation.

Reporting directly to the CFO, the North American Controller will not just manage accounting operations, you’ll redefine them. This is your opportunity to lead a talented team, harness the full potential of SAP S / 4HANA , and build a modern, tech-enabled finance function that supports strategic decision-making at every level of the organization.

This hybrid role requires 3 days per week in the office (with the flexibility to work remotely the other 2 days). Relocation support is available for the right leader.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Phenomenal culture : Be part of an organization where collaboration, innovation, and accountability aren’t just words, they’re how the business runs every day.
  • Transformation mandate : Drive the evolution of Finance operations from traditional accounting to a strategic, technology-forward powerhouse.
  • Global reach : Own financial consolidation and reporting for North America, while partnering with international leadership to scale globally.
  • Impact from day one : Your leadership will directly shape efficiency, automation, and growth-readiness, including M&A integration capability.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead the full utilization of SAP S / 4HANA , achieving true system optimization and process standardization.
  • Implement automation and process improvements to deliver measurable reductions in cost-per-transaction.
  • Build scalable finance infrastructure that supports growth and strategic decision-making.
  • Oversee month-end close, AR / AP, tax, expense management, and financial consolidations across U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
  • Manage and develop a team of 7 direct reports , empowering them to evolve into a high-performing, future-focused Finance team.
  • Partner with external auditors and global finance teams to ensure compliance and strengthen financial controls.

    • What We’re Looking For

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting / Finance; MBA a plus, CPA strongly preferred.
  • Proven leadership experience with a track record of building efficient, motivated teams for a manufacturing organization.
  • Prior SAP expertise required , with the ability to leverage the system for efficiency and insight.
  • Strong background in automation platforms, finance technology, and process transformation.
  • Confident communicator with the presence to influence at all levels.
  • Experience in global manufacturing is highly preferred.

    • The Right Candidate

    You’re a change agent who thrives in a role where you can modernize, transform, and elevate an accounting operation into a best-in-class Finance function. You’re not satisfied with “good enough”—you want to be part of a company that’s building something exceptional, with the culture and resources to back it up.

    Compensation & Benefits

  • Highly competitive salary and performance-based bonus.
  • Relocation support available.
  • Comprehensive benefits package.
  • Hybrid schedule (3 in-office / 2 remote).

    • This is more than a Controller role. This is an opportunity to transform an entire Finance function, lead an outstanding team, and grow with a company that values people, innovation, and excellence.

    If you’re ready to bring confidence, technology, and transformational leadership to an exceptional culture - apply today.
