The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Caterpillar is hiring a Senior Controller in Jonesboro, AR.

• Role description

  Caterpillar is the kind of place where a Senior Controller gets to challenge the CFO and be thanked for it. The pitch is honest — $84,000 - $125,000, real ownership of finance outcomes, and a Caterpillar crew in Jonesboro that has your back.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Forecast headcount costs and partner with HR on compensation planning
  • Translate Account Reconciliation dashboards into plain language for non-finance leaders
  • Read covenant terms closely enough to keep the lender calm
  • Keep deferred revenue schedules airtight as contracts renew
  • Collaborate cross-functionally to improve forecasting accuracy

  What You'll Bring

  • Strong rapport-building skills and a genuinely positive presence
  • Familiarity with the Jonesboro market and local finance landscape
  • Scrappy-but-steady problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • 7 or more years steering finance projects end to end
  • Strong multitasking ability without sacrificing quality

  We built Caterpillar in Jonesboro, AR to give finance teams the self-directed tools they actually deserve. We reward the teammate who unblocks three colleagues over the one who quietly hero-codes alone.

  Step in at $84,000 - $125,000, climb with structured growth, lean on a mentor, and take the flexibility Caterpillar is genuinely proud of.

  We are growing the Caterpillar team in AR and adding this position immediately.

  The team in Jonesboro, AR is one strong Senior Controller away from complete, and that could be you.
