About The Position
At HV Talent Group, we help talented professionals like you connect with top employers nationwide. As a trusted recruiting partner to industry-leading companies, we focus on direct-hire placements that align with your career goals, values, and long-term growth. Our client is looking for a Controller to join their team in the Medford, MA area. This is an on-site opportunity. The Controller will manage the finance department providing information, primarily financial in nature, about all company activities that will assist management and other users in making educated financial decisions about the company’s future. Role Summary (Non-Technical): This role is for an experienced accounting leader who can bring structure, organization, and clarity to a growing manufacturing business. The person will oversee a small team and ensure that the company’s financial operations run smoothly day to day, while also helping leadership make better business decisions. They need to be calm, methodical, and able to operate in a fast-moving environment without treating everything like a fire drill. This person will not just “report the numbers,” but actively work with operations and leadership to improve performance, control costs, and impact results in real time. A big part of the role is understanding how money flows through the business—especially inventory and cost tracking—and making sure systems and processes are accurate, efficient, and scalable. They will identify problems, find root causes, and work cross-functionally (including with IT) to fix and improve processes. This person must be hands-on, able to work independently, and also lead and mentor a team of about 7 people. Strong communication and people leadership skills are critical, as they will collaborate closely with other department leaders.
