Controller
Are you a Controller with superpowers?
Are you ready for the next step in your career?
You’ve led finance teams in the past…bringing out the best in them. Perhaps you’ve even built your own teams.
One of the first orders of business will be to evaluate our finance team, determining if we have the right people on the bus, even if they’re not in the right seat.
Our client is very stable, having a presence in the Raleigh and surrounding area for almost 100 years.
You will report directly to the President of the company who needs you to feed good information to him. If you bring the right ambition and polish as a Controller, the next step is intended to be Director of Finance.
Demonstrate how you have the ability to see the big picture and plan accordingly.
One last thing – there are 2 power players involved, each running their own parts of the organization. You will need to demonstrate that you can hold your own with each of them.
