Job Description

Korn Ferry has partnered with our client on their search for a Controller.

Company Overview:

  • Our client is a key business unit within a publicly traded global manufacturing company with 12 sites and approximately 3,000 employees worldwide
  • Located in the Greater Houston area, this division specializes in advanced manufacturing and was recently acquired as part of the parent company’s expansion strategy in the electronics space
  • The business is undergoing rapid growth — increasing from $60M to a projected $130M in revenue over the next two years
  • Its international sister company, based in India, focuses on grid technology, and both entities are expected to double in size as part of a broader global growth plan
  • The Houston-based team operates in a young, casual, and collaborative environment, blending the culture of a mid-sized, family-style company with the standards of a publicly traded firm
  • The company is preparing to transition to a new consolidated facility within 18 months (less than 12 miles from the current location) as it scales operations

Role Summary:

  • Title: Controller – Electronics Division
  • Reports to: Global VP of Finance
  • Full ownership of general ledger and all accounting operations for the Houston-based business unit
  • Leads all aspects of financial close, consolidations, reporting, and compliance with US GAAP and internal policies
  • Oversees AR, AP, inventory accounting, cash management, tax compliance, and intercompany reconciliations
  • Plays a key leadership role in process improvement, system transitions (including ERP upgrades), and establishing standard work
  • Acts as a strategic partner to FP&A and operations teams and ensures timely and accurate delivery of financial data to executive leadership
  • Will manage 4 direct reports initially (including AR, AP, and a Senior Accountant) with plans to grow the team

Team Structure:

  • Reports to Global VP of Finance
  • Will engage directly with senior leadership, including VP and President of the division
  • Manages a small but quickly growing team and will be critical to leadership integration as the company scales
  • Expected to be both hands-on and strategic — someone who can coach, execute, and lead simultaneously

Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance required; CPA or Master's degree strongly preferred
  • Minimum 10+ years of experience in accounting leadership, with at least 5+ years in a manufacturing, multi-site, and multi-national environment
  • Strong knowledge of US GAAP, internal controls, and operational accounting
  • Public company experience is a major plus
  • Cost accounting experience is highly valuable, especially for someone familiar with high-volume manufacturing
  • Demonstrated success in implementing and standardizing systems and processes across functions
  • ERP experience required — Oracle and PowerBI are strong pluses
  • Must be adaptable, detail-oriented, and process-driven with strong interpersonal and mentoring skills
  • Needs to be both a "doer" and a coach — able to dive into the work while developing others

Interview Process:

  • Round 1: Global VP of Finance
  • Round 2 & 3: Divisional VP and President

Compensation & Benefits:

  • Base Salary: $150,000 – $175,000
  • Bonus: 20% (80% based on divisional performance, 20% based on individual performance)
  • Equity/Stock Purchase Plan and comprehensive benefits
  • Schedule: Starts fully in-office, with flexibility to transition to a hybrid schedule (3/2 or 4/1 split) as onboarding and integration progress
  • Some domestic travel to company headquarters for leadership team meetings
