Partner with Operations and Sales to improve profitability through pricing strategy, customer profitability analysis, and margin improvement initiatives. Lead product, plant, customer, and SKU profitability analysis while identifying opportunities to improve gross margin and EBITDA. Oversee operational finance activities, including standard costing, manufacturing variance analysis, inventory valuation, and costing accuracy. Drive capital planning by developing business cases, ROI analyses, and investment recommendations. Lead working capital and cash flow forecasting initiatives while identifying opportunities to improve inventory performance and cash conversion. Build executive dashboards and operational KPIs that provide visibility into business performance. Champion finance process improvements, reporting automation, and continuous improvement initiatives. Prepare and deliver executive and Board-level financial presentations and strategic recommendations. Coach and develop our Financial Analyst and Cost Accountant while fostering a collaborative, high-performing finance team.

CPA designation. A degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, Economics, or a related discipline. 10 or more years of progressive experience in FP&A, Operational Finance, Corporate Finance, or Financial Leadership. Demonstrated success supporting multi-site manufacturing operations. Strong experience leading budgeting, forecasting, executive reporting, profitability analysis, and operational finance. Advanced financial modelling and business case development expertise. Experience preparing and delivering executive and Board-level financial presentations. Advanced Excel skills and strong experience with ERP systems. Power BI and business intelligence experience. A collaborative leadership style with the ability to influence across all levels of the organization.

Why Join Ice River? At Ice River Sustainable Solutions, you will join an organization that continues to invest in growth, innovation, and sustainability. You will work alongside an experienced executive team where Finance is viewed as a true business partner, and your ideas will directly influence strategic decisions across the organization.
