You will be right at home at Waupaca Foundry.
This role serves as an embedded finance business partner supporting Waupaca Foundry's functional business leaders including Supply Chain, Operations, Capital/Engineering purchasing, and Commercial/Sales. This person owns the relationship with their assigned business area(s) and is expected to translate operational reality into structured financial analysis, business cases, and capital requests not simply provide financial inputs to someone else's decision.

RESPONSIBILITIES
Business Partnership
Serve as a thought partner & financial expert to the executives and teams within your assigned functional area(s)
Own the outcomes of the analysis you produce, investigate pitfalls and upsides on your own terms rather than waiting to be asked

Be generally available to support business unit leaders who need help thinking through and modeling solutions
Analysis & Business Case Development

Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business, or a related field from an accredited four (4) year college or university; MBA a plus but not required
3-10+ years in FP&A, Consulting, Analytics; experience within a business unit of a manufacturing organization is a plus
