Finance Director (International Finance CPG)

We are partnering with a well-established, privately held agricultural producer and distributor headquartered in California's Central Valley on a senior-level search for a Director of International Finance. Founded over two decades ago, this company has grown from a regional farming operation into a vertically integrated global business — spanning growing, packing, and international sales — with a significant revenue base and farming investments across multiple regions in the Americas and beyond.

With an expanding international footprint spanning several growing regions and global sales markets, this is a high-impact leadership role that sits at the intersection of international finance and agricultural operations. The incoming Director will serve as a critical bridge between corporate leadership and international farming and sales teams — bringing financial rigor, strategic insight, and operational understanding to a growth-oriented, mission-driven organization.

• Develop and execute global financial strategies to support the company's international operations, expansion goals, and profitability targets.
• Oversee international financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis across multiple regions and entities.
• Manage financial risks related to foreign exchange, cross-border investments, multi-entity structures, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
• Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with global accounting standards and applicable local regulations.
• Serve as a key financial liaison between corporate leadership and international farming and sales operations across several global markets.
• Lead, mentor, and collaborate with regional finance teams to drive consistency, efficiency, and best practices across the organization.
• Partner with executive leadership to deliver financial insights and data-driven recommendations that inform strategic decision-making.
• Support mergers, acquisitions, and other international business initiatives as required.

Highly Valued:
