At AlediumHR, we're partnering with an exciting, fast-growing company based in Charlotte, NC. They're looking for a Director of Finance / Controller who's ready to step into a high-impact role. This is a manufacturing environment, but industry-related experience is not required.

If you're a finance leader who's as comfortable shaping strategy as you are diving into the details, this is your opportunity to make a real mark. You'll work alongside a passionate executive team, lead a talented finance group, and help guide the company's next phase of growth.

What You'll Be Doing:

Leading global accounting operations, making sure the numbers are airtight, the processes are efficient, and everything aligns with U.S. GAAP and all regulatory standards.
Building and strengthening SOX compliance and financial controls, you'll be the cornerstone of their financial integrity.
Owning the month-end and year-end close processes and always looking for ways to make them better and faster.
Partnering with external auditors, managing the audit process, and keeping relationships strong and proactive.
Bringing technical accounting expertise, translating new accounting pronouncements into real-world solutions.
Leading a talented team managing 34 direct reports in a 200+ finance organization, developing future finance leaders along the way.
Stepping up strategically but also not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on when needed.
Supporting executive and Board communications (Board presentation skills are a plus, but not a must-have!)

Who Were Looking For:

Must-Haves:

• CPA license -  this is non-negotiable.
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (MBA preferred).
• 8-10 years in senior finance leadership roles.
• Proven experience leading multinational, matrixed accounting teams.
• Deep knowledge of U.S. GAAP, SEC reporting, SOX compliance, and internal controls.
• Strong business acumen - you see the big picture but master the details.
• ERP implementation and process optimization experience.
• Experience in a global environment - you're comfortable operating across different geographies and cultures.
• Excellent communication skills - can simplify the complex for any audience.

Bonus Points For:

• Board presentation experience.
• A track record of building high-performing teams.
• A hands-on leadership style that inspires others to level up.
