Clemens Food Group
Location: Hatfield, PA | Full-Time | On-Site
Why Join Clemens Food Group? At Clemens Food Group, we do business the right way with a deep commitment to integrity, stewardship, and the communities we serve. As a family‑owned, values‑driven pork producer, we believe that how we operate is just as important as what we produce. When you join CFG, you join a team that’s focused on continuous improvement, collaboration, and creating long‑term value for our people and our partners.
The Impact You’ll Make This is not your typical Plant Controller role. Yes, you’ll manage budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting but that’s just the beginning. In this role, you’ll be the financial voice of the plant, partnering closely with operations to reduce waste, improve processes, and drive smarter decisions on the floor. You’ll lead financial insights that directly influence profitability and team performance, and you’ll play a critical role in shaping a lean, high‑performing finance team.
What You’ll Do
Partner with operations, supply chain, and sales to drive value creation
Analyze P&L trends and identify opportunities to eliminate waste and improve performance
Own the budgeting, forecasting, and weekly/monthly financial reporting process
Lead cost accounting and standard cost updates with SAP or other ERP tools
Support inventory reconciliation and internal control compliance
Guide and grow a team of finance professionals focused on operational excellence
Build financial storylines that help leaders understand the why behind the numbers
What Makes This Role Exciting?
High-Visibility: Regular exposure to operations leadership and cross‑functional decision‑makers
Impact‑Focused: 70% of the work centers on value creation, not just compliance or reporting
Team Influence: Help shape and build a team that mirrors your mindset—collaborative, curious, and driven
What We’re Looking For We’re seeking a finance leader who thrives in a hands‑on, fast‑paced plant environment and is ready to own the business as if it were their own. Someone who doesn’t wait for permission, who sees a gap, fills it, and keeps moving. This is a great role for someone ready to move from Sr. Analyst into Controller or who’s been managing financial operations and wants more cross‑functional influence.
Must-Haves Skills & Mindset
Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field
5+ years of experience in operations finance (manufacturing strongly preferred)
Strong analytical and cost accounting skills
Confidence in building reports, analyzing data, and sharing clear financial insights
Nice-to-Haves

Experience improving inventory or reconciliation processesExperience improving inventory or reconciliation processes
Mindset
Curious, proactive, and driven by results
Strong communicator and influencer: can tell the story behind the numbers
Enjoys solving problems with others and making processes better
