About The Position

Join a global technology leader and take your career to the next level. North Star Imaging (NSI) is a worldwide leader in 2D digital radiography and 3D computed tomography equipment. As part of ITW (Illinois Tool Works), we combine the agility of a specialized business with the resources of a Fortune 200 company. We're committed to building a culture that invests in its people, champions continuous improvement, and rewards those who think like owners. Are you a strategic finance leader who thrives at the intersection of numbers and business growth? Do you want a seat at the table — not just a seat in the back room? If so, this might be the role you've been waiting for. NSI is looking for an experienced Controller to lead our finance function and join our management team. This is a high-impact role for someone who's equally comfortable building a long-range financial strategy and rolling up their sleeves to strengthen the systems and people behind it. This isn't a heads-down accounting job. As Controller, you'll have direct influence on business strategy, organic growth initiatives, and the financial health of a global organization. You'll lead and develop a talented team, partner closely with senior leadership, and help shape the culture of a growing business unit — all within the strength and stability of ITW, a Fortune 200 company. If you're ready to lead, grow, and make a lasting impact — we'd love to hear from you.
