Purpose Of The Role

The Senior Finance Business Partner plays a critical dual role, providing strong financial governance while actively partnering with site leadership to drive operational and financial performance. This role blends strategic financial leadership with hands-on operational involvement. You are not just reporting the numbers—you are embedded in the business, helping leaders understand what the numbers mean, why they matter, and how to act on them. This role serves as a trusted advisor to on-site leadership and a key liaison to Corporate Finance. THIS ROLE IS LOCATED IN DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA AND MAY BE A HYBRID ROLE FOR THOSE CANDIDIATES LOCATED IN THE GREATER SE FLORIDA AREA.

How You Make An Impact In This Role

You bring clarity to complexity. You connect financial results to real operational activity and help leaders make informed decisions that improve productivity, control costs, and enable growth. You are equally comfortable reviewing a variance report, walking the site to understand processes, partnering with leadership to build a forward-looking plan. You roll up your sleeves, ask the right questions, and help turn insight into action.
