About The Position

We are seeking a Plant Controller in our Lansing, Michigan facility to support a fast-paced, high-growth operation. This role will provide financial oversight, deliver analytical insights, manage inventory controls and serve as a key business partner to the manufacturing team. The successful candidate will serve as the site financial leader and be an integral part of a high-energy, entrepreneurial business. As with any high-growth business, this position requires someone who thrives in a culture of rapid change and one where the solution or process will rarely be clearly defined in advance. The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented and intellectually curious, with a strong work ethic and a collaborative, team-first mindset. They are able to operate effectively under pressure, demonstrate sound judgment and a willingness to take calculated risks, and maintain an openness to continuous learning and professional development. About TemperPack TemperPack is a rapidly growing company based in Richmond, Virginia. We design and manufacture innovative, sustainable packaging components for cold-chain shipping of food and pharmaceutical products.

Our aspiration is to provide packaging solutions that customers and end-consumers feel great about using.
