Provide the cost data and analysis that drive operational improvement and measurable savings. Controls, systems, and team Lead the plant finance team, and build the accounting and costing system and the policies behind it.

Lead internal audit, strengthen the controls that safeguard company assets, and flag financial risks early. Build the close calendar, standard work, master data, and dashboards, and use AI to take over routine finance work. Own the approval workflows for requisitions, supplier setup, and AP, so cost centers and GL coding are right at entry.
