Job Summary
Vignate Plant is looking for an Industrial 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 financial and costing processes, improving data integrity, and enhancing reporting and internal controls that help move the organization forward.

Sitting at the intersection of accounting and financial analysis, this role supports budgeting, forecasting, and operational reporting tied directly to production performance. 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.
