Controller

Conwed is a leading manufacturer of architectural acoustic solutions for interior commercial spaces focused on reducing and controlling noise so people can communicate, work, and perform at their peak. Our products are key pieces of design in some of the most iconic buildings in the country, sometimes featured as a design element, sometimes seamlessly blending into the background. Our manufacturing plant and headquarters are in half of a 100,000 square foot facility in Maumee, Ohio where our team works together to build great solutions with a smile. We might be a little different, but that’s by design.

We are transitioning from a part-time team covering Accounting and Human Resources to a dedicated team focused on Conwed’s team and customers. The Controller is a key member of the Leadership team and will have the opportunity and responsibility to build their team and create a supportive, engaged culture.
