We are looking for an accomplished Finance Manager to join a contract assignment supporting a high-visibility finance function in Boulder, Colorado. This role will help deliver timely planning, analysis, and leadership reporting in a fast-moving manufacturing environment while partnering closely with senior stakeholders. The position is designed for someone who is detail oriented and can quickly assess priorities, provide clear financial insight, and contribute from day one in a hybrid work setting.

• Prepare and present executive-facing dashboards, month-end summaries, and recurring performance reports that support leadership decision-making.
• Produce accurate reporting packages for senior executives and board-level audiences on a daily, weekly, and monthly cadence.
• Examine operational and production results, including yield, pricing movement, downtime impacts, and cost absorption trends, to explain financial performance.
• Build financial models, variance reviews, waterfall analyses, and other ad hoc reporting tools to address evolving business questions.
• Work closely with plant, operations, and production teams to connect shop-floor activity with financial outcomes and planning assumptions.
• Assess changes in commodity and chemical costs and translate those shifts into clear business impact analysis.
• Respond quickly to urgent requests from executive leadership by delivering reliable insights under tight timelines.
• Offer a consultative point of view by challenging assumptions, identifying risks, and recommending more effective paths for analysis and reporting.
