Description

What Matters at Magid? YOU do!

"The number one key to growth is having good people and that's what has driven us at every stage of the game." - Greg Cohen, CEO

At Magid, we're not just passionate about safety-we're passionate about people. As an industry leader, we've built an innovative and collaborative environment where diversity is celebrated, ideas are valued, and personal and professional growth never stops.

At Magid, we've spent 80 years focused on one mission-keeping workers safe. Behind that mission is a business that relies on strong, accurate financials, especially in a manufacturing environment.

This role goes beyond the day-to-day. You'll partner closely with teams across the business-especially operations and supply chain-to help make sense of the numbers and support better decisions. You'll lead a team, improve processes, and find ways to make our systems and workflows more efficient as we continue to grow.

We're looking for someone who's hands-on, collaborative, and naturally curious-someone who enjoys digging into the details but also understands how their work connects to the bigger picture.
