In this position...

  • Take on a leadership role within a dynamic team at the Ohio Assembly Plant (OHAP), which manufactures three commercial vehicle platforms — Econoline, Super Duty, and Medium Truck. The plant is in the midst of a site expansion that will support a new vehicle program in the future. We're seeking an engaging, business-savvy individual who can build strong relationships with operating partners across the plant.
  • The ideal candidate thrives on modeling frequent changes to support better business decision-making, and is driven to uncover and deliver cost-saving opportunities through a continuous improvement mindset. We're looking for a change agent — someone who actively seeks out and implements new technologies to modernize how the controller's office and operating teams function.

  • Lead the controller's office role in PwC Finished Vehicle and GAO audits.
  • Monitor supplier chargebacks, support recovery negotiations, and manage ad hoc business requests in a fast-paced setting.
  • Take part in Business Control Center (BCC), Plant Control Center (PCC), Department Control Center (DCC), and Zone Control Center (ZCC) reviews.
  • Perform daily floor walks to spot opportunities for improvement.
  • Research and introduce new technologies to modernize the finance function.
Qualifications

You'll have...

  • Bachelor's degree, preferably in Finance, Accounting, or engineering.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with strong analytical ability and attention to detail.
  • Solid interpersonal skills and the ability to collaborate effectively across functions.
  • Capable of managing several projects simultaneously.
  • Advanced proficiency in Excel.
  • Hands-on experience with relevant systems (e.g., SAP, Power BI, SharePoint, Python, etc.).
  • Strategy and Business Case Development
  • Cost Management and Accounting
  • Teamwork and Business Partnering
  • Talent Development
