About the Prospect
SinaLite and Willowpack are looking for a Senior Director of Finance to join our leadership team and take ownership of the financial strategy, discipline, and decision support required to support two growing manufacturing businesses.
This is a hands-on senior leadership role for an experienced finance professional who understands that strong finance leadership goes well beyond reporting the numbers. You will help shape business decisions by bringing greater visibility and discipline to cash, working capital, manufacturing costs, margins, investments, and financial risk.
SinaLite is an established wholesale printing business focused on protecting and expanding margins, while Willowpack is a rapidly growing packaging manufacturer requiring disciplined management of capital, working capital, and costs as it scales.
We're looking for a skeptical, analytical, and commercially minded finance leader who is comfortable challenging assumptions, getting into the details, developing a strong finance team,
and giving leadership the financial clarity needed to make better decisions.
For the right individual, this role offers a clear opportunity to grow into a VP-level position within approximately two years.
What You'll Be Responsible For
Cash, Liquidity & Working Capital
- Build and own a rolling 13-week cash forecast and longer-term liquidity models.

- Model the cash and working-capital impact of business growth and changing operating conditions.

- Ensure costing accurately reflects materials, labour, yield, scrap, and other production costs.
- Partner with Sales to establish pricing guardrails, cost-based pricing floors, and margin expectations.
- Provide clear financial reporting that allows leadership to understand the economics and performance of SinaLite and Willowpack independently.
FP&A; & Strategic Decision Support
- Lead annual budgeting, forecasting,
and long-range financial planning.
- Translate strategic objectives into measurable financial targets and forecasts.
- Develop forward-looking, probability-weighted risk and opportunity assessments covering both profitability and cash.
- Build financial business cases for capital expenditures, investments, and major strategic decisions.
- Track investment performance and returns following implementation.
- Provide leadership with scenario modelling and data-driven recommendations to support major business decisions.
Compliance, Controls & Government Funding
- Oversee government funding opportunities, including applications, claims, compliance, and reporting.
- Ensure compliance with applicable Canadian and U.S. tax, regulatory, and financial reporting requirements.
- Strengthen internal financial controls, policies, and procedures appropriate for a growing manufacturing organization.
Finance Team Leadership
- Assess the existing finance structure and identify opportunities to strengthen capabilities.
- Recruit, coach, and develop finance and FP&A; talent.
- Ensure team members are positioned effectively across controllership, treasury, and FP&A; responsibilities.
- Build greater financial accountability across the organization.
- Help operational and functional leaders understand the financial impact of their decisions.
Systems, Data & AI
- Maximize the value of NetSuite and our broader financial reporting systems.
