Corporate Systems Manager

Our client is looking for a Manager, Corporate Systems to join a publicly traded, multi-billion-dollar international manufacturer with decades of stability and a leadership position in a highly specialized, technical niche of the aerospace, defense, and industrial markets. This is a company whose precision components are engineered into critical systems that simply can’t fail - the kind of mission-critical positioning that translates into long-term contracts, deep customer relationships, and a business that holds up through economic cycles. With dozens of manufacturing facilities across multiple countries and a track record of steady growth (including recent double-digit revenue gains), this is a rare opportunity to join an organization built for the long haul.

This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants to own the systems side of Finance - not just use the tools, but administer them, improve them, and be the go-to expert when something breaks or needs to scale.

What you’ll actually do:

• Serve as the superuser for corporate financial systems (including CCH Tagetik), owning access controls, configurations, and troubleshooting
• Partner with Internal Audit on SOX compliance and control improvements
• Build and automate reporting using Excel and Power BI
• Reconcile complex, multi-system datasets and turn them into decision-ready insights
• Translate business needs into functional requirements - then see projects through implementation and training
• Support system integration work tied to acquisitions

• Have a Bachelor’s in Accounting, Finance, or related field
• Know your way around financial close/consolidation, AP/AR, and inventory costing
• Are an Excel power user who also enjoys the “why” behind the numbers
• Have exposure to CCH Tagetik (or similar consolidation tools), Power BI, or ERP systems like SAP, Infor M3, or Syteline
• Like being the translator - equally comfortable in a Finance meeting or an IT ticket

This is a lean, execution-focused environment where initiative is noticed and rewarded - a stable, growing organization that offers real staying power alongside meaningful ownership.
