North Canton, Ohio (Greater Akron area) Relocation Assistance Provided Hybrid (3 days onsite, 2 remote)

This is a newly created role at a global manufacturing organization's headquarters, built specifically to give Finance a strategic technology partner as the company grows. You'll serve as the direct liaison between Finance leadership and IT, owning the systems that run enterprise finance operations.

You won't be inheriting someone else's backlog. This position was created to support digital transformation initiatives and M&A integration work as the organization expands, which means you're building the function's approach to enterprise Finance systems rather than maintaining what's already in place.

Compensation includes a 10% annual bonus, a 6%+ 401K match, full benefits, and relocation assistance if you're moving into the Akron area.
