What We're Looking For

- Comfortable working directly with plant leadership and operations teams.
- Able to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance professionals.
- Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the broader business objectives.
- Self-starter who takes ownership and follows issues through to resolution.
