  • Advanced financial modeling and cost-benefit analysis skills

  • Advanced Microsoft Excel skills
  • Experience with a large ERP system (Oracle or similar preferred)
  • Packaging or rigid plastics industry experience is highly preferred

What We're Looking For

  • A collaborative finance professional who can bridge Finance and Operations
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to influence business decisions
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
  • Ability to move between detailed financial analysis and executive-level communication
  • Someone who enjoys building financial models that drive strategic investment decisions
