District Partners has been retained by a publicly traded manufacturing organization with a 50-year operating history to identify an FP&A Manager who will serve as a financial partner to operations and plant leadership across a multi-site footprint.

This role sits at the intersection of finance and manufacturing operations, supporting forecasting, cost visibility, capital planning, and performance management in an environment where financial insight directly influences production decisions. The company continues to invest in its facilities, systems, and people and offers the stability of an established enterprise with the mindset of a business still scaling.

What You’ll Do:

• Ability to engage confidently with operations leaders and challenge assumptions
• Practical, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a data-driven environment

Ideal Candidate Profile:
