Associate Finance Manager

Ocean Spray is hiring for a(n) Associate Finance Manager! We’re a team of farmers, thinkers, creators, and doers. Whatever your title, whatever your role — it always comes back to this : we’re a farmer-owned co-op where everyone rolls up their sleeves to get the job done. Three maverick farmers started it all — and we’ve been making our own way ever since. Ocean Spray is looking for a new Associate Finance Manager to join our team! In this role, you will be responsible for coordinating and consolidating financial results across multiple business units, ensuring timely and accurate reporting, and supporting key planning and forecasting activities.

You will be highly engaged and provide facts to support decision making and influence the right outcome.
