Director of Business Operations & Finance

Build the Management System Behind a Growing Manufacturing Company

Dynamix designs and manufactures industrial mixing systems used across North America and internationally. As we continue to grow, we are looking for a hands‑on business and financial leader to help build the systems, reporting, cost controls, and management accountability required for scalable, profitable growth. This is not a traditional accounting role. We are seeking a business‑minded operator who can partner with Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales, and Operations to make costs visible, decisions clearer, margins more predictable, and managers accountable to budgets, timelines, and results.

• Business case development, cost-benefit analysis, and decision support.
• Department budgeting and manager accountability.
• Job costing and quote-to-actual margin analysis.
• Engineering and manufacturing cost controls.
• KPI dashboards, operational reporting, and management review cadence.
• Revenue, margin, backlog, inventory, and cash‑flow forecasting.
• ERP selection and implementation.
• Government grant tracking, compliance, and audit readiness.
• External accountant / CPA coordination and financial reporting oversight.

You will help drive a culture where decisions are evaluated not only for technical excellence, but also for:

• Cost
• Time
• Risk
• Manufacturability
• Capacity
• Business value

This role exists to help move cost management and operational accountability away from the CEO and into a structured management system.

• Managers own and manage their budgets.
• Business cases are created before major decisions are made.
• Engineering and manufacturing costs are measurable and reviewed regularly.
• Quote-to-actual reporting becomes standard practice.
• Forecasts become reliable and actionable.
• ERP requirements are clearly defined and implementation is underway.
• Cost accountability operates through systems, cadence, and reporting — not CEO intervention.

• A practical business operator with strong financial judgment.
• Experienced in manufacturing, engineered products, industrial equipment, project‑based work, job‑shop, or configured‑to‑order environments.
• Strong in business cases, cost-benefit analysis, budgeting, forecasting, and KPI reporting.
• Comfortable holding managers accountable to budgets, timelines, and operating results.
• Able to respectfully challenge assumptions and influence Engineering, Manufacturing, Sales, and Operations leaders.
• Systems‑minded, with experience improving workflows, reporting, dashboards, ERP, or operational processes.
• Strong enough in accounting and financial reporting to manage monthly reporting, controls, and external accountant relationships.
• Hands‑on, direct, low‑ego, and comfortable building systems in a growing 20‑person company.

• Business case development and ROI modelling.
• Management accountability and department budgeting.
• Job costing, project costing, WIP, inventory, or manufacturing margin analysis.
• ERP selection or implementation.
• Workflow analysis and process improvement.
• Revenue operations, backlog reporting, milestone billing, or margin forecasting.
• CPA/CMA/CGA or similar accounting depth is helpful, but not the main requirement.
