Job Description

Empire Recycling, a leader in the recycling industry since 1916 is seeking a hands-on VP of Finance to lead and execute all financial operations for our multi-site recycling and transportation business. This role blends strategic leadership with daily, active involvement in accounting, cost control, cash management, and operational decision-making. This is not a purely strategic role — the ideal candidate is comfortable rolling up their sleeves and working directly in the details.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead financial strategy, budgeting, forecasting, and capital planning with ownership and executive leadership
  • Own and actively perform core accounting functions including month-end close, reconciliations, costing, and financial reporting
  • Develop and manage cost and margin models across commodities, freight, fuel, and processing operations
  • Partner closely with operations, yard managers, and logistics teams to improve profitability and performance
  • Manage cash flow, banking relationships, credit facilities, and capital investments
  • Strengthen internal controls, systems, and financial processes across multiple locations
  • Build, manage, and mentor the accounting and finance team

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in accounting, Finance, or related field
  • 7+ years of progressive finance/accounting leadership in industrial, manufacturing, logistics, or recycling environments
  • Strong hands-on accounting and operational finance experience (job costing, inventory, margin analysis)
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, operational setting
  • Advanced Excel and ERP/accounting system proficiency

Preferred: CPA, CMA, or MBA; experience in recycling, waste, transportation, or commodity-based industries.

What We’re Looking For

  • Highly analytical, detail-oriented, and operationally minded
  • Strong communicator who can translate financial data into business decisions
  • Proactive leader who drives accountability and continuous improvement
  • Willing and able to be deeply involved in day-to-day financial execution

Benefits

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus
  • Health, dental, vision, and retirement plans
  • Professional development opportunities
