Junior Controller/Accounting Manager with Manufacturing industry experience ( prefer plastics/packaging)

Role Overview

This is a hands-on senior accounting role supporting a production-driven manufacturing workplace. The position is designed to own day-to-day accounting execution, ERP integrity, and process improvement while freeing up time for the Controller.

This is not a traditional Accounting Manager role and is not a pure FP&A; or pricing strategy position. It is best suited for a Senior Accountant or CPA-track professional who is strong operationally, comfortable working alongside production teams, and focused on accuracy, controls, and continuous improvement.

The facility operates 24/7. This role works standard business hours but supports a business that runs continuously, requiring responsiveness and strong coordination with operations.
