Financial Controller

Job Summary

Vignate Plant is looking for a Financial Controller with manufacturing experience who brings strong analytical capability and sound accounting fundamentals – someone who can move seamlessly between the discipline of accounting and the deeper analysis that drives smarter operational decisions. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role supporting manufacturing operations through cost and variance analysis (material, labor, and overhead), inventory and asset accounting, and month‑end close activities. Beyond execution, the role plays a key part in strengthening accounting and costing processes, improving data integrity, and enhancing reporting and internal controls that help move the organization forward. The successful candidate is both a doer and a thinker – comfortable in a plant‑based environment, energized by change, and motivated by translating complex manufacturing data into clear, actionable insight. Sitting at the intersection of accounting and financial analysis, this role supports budgeting, forecasting, and operational reporting tied directly to production performance. It’s an excellent opportunity for a strong accounting professional seeking increased ownership, visibility, and impact beyond routine accounting work. If you thrive in manufacturing environments, enjoy ERP (SAP)‑driven systems, and want to expand your impact, this role offers a compelling blend of responsibility, learning, and influence.

With Vignate Plant’s Industrial Controlling team, reporting to the Vignate Plant Controller at a leading manufacturing facility that produces ETO Engineered solutions as well as MTO/MTS standard series products within the EMEIA Compression Systems & Services Business unit.
