Senior Manager - Financial Planning & Analysis

For 75 years, Ocean Spray's logo has been an enduring symbol of what we stand for-taste, health & heritage. We are an agricultural cooperative formed in 1930 by three cranberry growers who shared a common goal of expanding the market for their crop. In addition, we are North America's leading producer of shelf-stable juice drinks, and continue to be the best-selling brand name in this category since 1981. At Ocean Spray we understand the value of working together, while knowing each individual plays a vital role in the company's success. Our business has always been and continues to be built on people from different backgrounds, coming together for a common goal. The same sense of opportunity, resourcefulness and innovation on which the Cooperative was founded is what drives Ocean Spray today!
