Accounting Manager
SkyWater is thrilled to be partnering with a $500M+ food manufacturer in the southwest metro (owned by a large publicly traded parent) to add an Accounting Manager to their team!
We placed the last person in this seat and she just moved up into finance – so the path is REAL. This company is investing heavily in technology (automation, AI tools, the works!) and this role gets to lead the charge, moving the team from transactional accounting to exception-based review and GL automation. You’d get big-company controls exposure without the big-company bureaucracy.
For this role, we need –
• Someone who wants to lead people AND enjoys it – you’ll have a team of six
• A track record of improving a process through technology (automation, systems, reporting)
• Comfortable in the office three days a week (with flexible core hours)
Public accounting roots are a big plus, and newly promoted audit managers looking to make the jump to industry are welcome!

Please note that only local applicants will be considered as relocation is not an option.
