About Us
At POLYWOOD, we believe in creating spaces that connect people with the outdoors and with each other. We design and build outdoor furniture that’s as durable as it is timeless, using sustainable materials like our genuine POLYWOOD lumber made from recycled plastics.
But we’re more than a furniture company. We’re makers, storytellers, and problem-solvers who care deeply about craftsmanship, community, and the planet. Our teams include everyone from expert fabricators to visionary creatives, and we’re all united by the idea that good design has the power to make life better.
When you join POLYWOOD, you become part of a company that values curiosity, collaboration, and the drive to do things differently.

Who You Are

You have a deep understanding of ecommerce and marketing performance metrics - and you know how to connect the dots between numbers and business decisions. You’re equally comfortable digging into SQL, collaborating with cross-functional teams, or presenting findings to leadership.

Own Plant-Level Financial Reporting
Manage metric reporting, budgeting, and monthly variance analysis Deliver clear financial commentary and forecasts to plant and corporate leadership Oversee inventory valuation, cycle counts, and physical inventory processes Support capital expenditure tracking and return on investment analysis
Drive Operational Insight
Develop KPIs for throughput, OEE, downtime, scrap, and cost per unit Build dashboards and scorecards that promote visibility and accountability Provide insights that drive continuous improvement and cost reductions
Ensure Controls and Compliance
Maintain internal controls around inventory, labor, and spending Support compliance with GAAP, internal audits, and reporting requirements Document financial workflows to ensure consistency and scalability
Collaborate Across the Business
Serve as a financial partner to the Plant Manager and other operations leaders Coordinate with IT, Engineering, and HR to ensure system alignment and data integrity Assist with ERP optimization and automated reporting initiatives
What You Bring
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business CPA or CMA certification preferred Minimum of 7 to 10 years of manufacturing finance experience with a strong focus on cost accounting Demonstrated success in implementing and managing standard costing in a plant setting Strong knowledge of cost drivers, inventory flow, and production finance Proficiency with Excel and ERP systems such as Acumatica, SAP, Oracle, or similar Experience with business intelligence tools like Power BI or Tableau Clear communication skills and a collaborative leadership style
Why POLYWOOD: What We Offer and Why It Matters
Role
This is more than a finance role. It is an opportunity to be part of a company that is growing with purpose, designing with integrity, and building a better way to work. Here is what you can expect when you join the team:
You will have a meaningful role where your insights directly impact how the plant operates. You will join a company that values people, innovation, and continuous improvement.
