Director of Finance and Administration
About The Position
A well-established, precision manufacturing company is seeking a Director of Finance & Administration to serve as its senior internal financial leader.

We're looking for a business-minded finance executive who thrives as a trusted advisor-someone who can translate financial data into strategic insight, build strong cross-functional partnerships, and provide leadership across Finance, Human Resources, Information Technology, and ERP administration. If you're energized by helping leadership teams make better business decisions and enjoy working in a collaborative, entrepreneurial manufacturing environment, we'd love to connect with you.
