Ocean Spray Cranberries, Inc.
Associate Finance Manager
Ocean Spray is hiring for an Associate Finance Manager! We're a team of farmers, thinkers, creators, and doers.

You will act as a trusted and valuable business partner to cross functional teams. You will identify issues and work to provide solutions to support the entire organization by leveraging resources and driving projects to resolution. You will be highly engaged and provide facts to support decision making and influence the right outcome.
