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.

Lead annual budgeting, forecasting, and long-range financial planning. 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.

Champion a data-driven approach to decision‑making throughout the organization. 10+ years of progressive finance experience, including at least 5 years in senior financial leadership within a manufacturing environment. Strong manufacturing cost accounting experience, including job/product costing, inventory, material yield, and scrap.





Experience evaluating capital expenditures and developing investment business cases. Demonstrated ability to hire, develop, and lead high‑performing finance teams.

Experience within printing, packaging, converting, or a related manufacturing industry is a strong asset. Thinks ahead — You identify financial risks and opportunities before they become obvious.

Builds solid teams — You develop talent, raise expectations, and create a finance function capable of supporting continued growth. Is comfortable challenging leadership — You have the confidence and executive presence to pressure‑test assumptions and provide a different perspective when the numbers support it. This is an opportunity to take on a highly influential finance leadership position across two distinct manufacturing businesses at different stages of growth.

You’ll have the opportunity to directly influence how we manage cash, evaluate investments, improve manufacturing margins, scale Willowpack, and make strategic decisions across the organization. For a high‑performing finance leader who demonstrates the ability to operate as a trusted financial partner to the President and leadership team, this role offers a pathway toward VP‑level leadership within approximately two years. If you're a hands‑on finance leader who enjoys challenging assumptions, solving complex manufacturing finance problems, building strong teams, and turning financial data into better business decisions, we'd like to hear from you.
