(Adjacent to CPG, FMCG, food, beverage, nutrition, pharma)

If you’re a finance leader who thrives in fast‑paced manufacturing environments and wants a role where you can truly influence how the business runs—strengthening systems, processes, and teams as the operation scales—we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
This role has primary ownership of site‑level financial performance and operational decision support, with responsibility for country‑level financial planning, analysis, and performance reporting. You’ll lead and develop a lean team including the site controller and other finance and accounting professionals.

You’ve built your finance career inside fast‑moving manufacturing environments—where output, efficiency, and discipline matter because real product is moving every hour. You know how to move beyond reporting and become a true business partner, bringing visibility, accountability, and structure to operations that are scaling quickly. Now you’re ready for a role where your work directly shapes performance on the floor and at the leadership table.

The company operates in a high‑speed, high‑volume environment typical of CPG, FMCG, food, beverage, nutrition, pharmaceutical, or similarly regulated manufacturing businesses
.

The organization is part of an established, global platform with meaningful growth and change ahead—well suited for a leader who enjoys building through scale. Product demand is strong, capacity continues to increase, and the focus is now on execution, profitability, and operating rigor.

This role partners closely with director and executive peers to help run the business—not just report on it.
