Opportunity Snapshot

As part of a global team supporting Specialty Materials, you will support decision makers in North America, our largest region, including Finance, Sales, Marketing, and Supply Chain. This is a hands-on director role, and you'll also contribute to a variety of special projects and initiatives along with producing regular reports and analyses. The knowledge and experience you acquire in this role could set you up to pursue multiple career paths within Specialty Materials or other divisions of $4.6 billion Sealed Air.
To be a good fit for this opportunity you will have a solid understanding of accounting and finance, strong analytical skills, and four to six years of broad experience in a manufacturing environment, including monthly close, sales analysis, product performance reporting, expense analysis, forecasts, budgeting, and more. We're looking for a flexible professional who can effectively manage multiple projects and changing priorities, and who is willing to "roll up the sleeves" to achieve goals.

What's in It for You
Broad Exposure -- you will report directly to the Vice President of Finance for Specialty Materials and interact with leaders of large and small businesses in industries as diverse as construction, transportation, cold chain (temperature tracking and control), and consumer goods. Your activities will cover a broad array of information, including cost center analysis, variance, pricing action reports, credit reserves, market segmentation, rebate accrual, and much more.
High impact -- while this role is largely tactical, there is also a solid strategic component, and you will help influence decisions across the division. You'll contribute to special projects and initiatives such as capital investment, system implementations and upgrades, new acquisition integration, and ad hoc analyses.
Entrepreneurial environment -- Sealed Air created the Specialty Materials Business Unit to expand into new markets and launch new products, leveraging industry-leading expertise in polymer science, manufacturing, and process engineering. Innovation is standard operating procedure in this high-energy culture and you'll be involved in everything from established companies to startup ventures. Of course, you'll also enjoy the stability and resources of a global manufacturing leader.
Excellent compensation -- in addition to a competitive salary and bonus incentive program, we offer comprehensive benefits.
More About Your Role
If you're a good fit for this position, you already know most of what this job entails. However, to be sure we're providing a complete picture, here are some details.
The Specialty Materials Business Unit is a global division, and you will focus on supporting leaders in North America. You'll also interact and coordinate with counterparts in Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia to ensure consistency in reporting and other analysis requirements.
While you will report to the VP of Finance, Specialty Materials, you will get input and requests from a number of sources. North America is our largest market and, among others, you will support the sales organization managing our core product (specialty foams) and many members of the division's global management. Internally you will partner with all levels of Finance, the Supply Chain organization, Sales and Marketing, and externally you'll interact with customers, external auditors and accountants, and government agencies.
Your specific activities will include:
You also can expect to be involved in a steady stream of projects and initiatives, such as new acquisitions, processes, technologies, and products.
Keys to Success
To excel in this role you will have an entrepreneurial spirit yourself, including a strong sense of ownership and accountability, and a knack for seeing what needs to be done and taking care of it. You also will need to be flexible and "go with the flow" as priorities and deadlines shift. We'll also look to you to remain willing to dig into the numbers; for example, as the finance interface between new acquisitions and corporate, you may need to do "grass roots" analysis and then translate your results into a format consistent with corporate reporting requirements.
If this sounds like the right mix of challenge and opportunity for you, and you meet the minimum qualifications, we want to hear from you!
