Position Summary
As a key member of the Executive Management team, the Chief Financial Officer will report to the CEO and assume a strategic role in the overall management of the company. The CFO will have primary day-to-day responsibility for planning, implementing, managing, and controlling all financial-related activities of the company. This includes direct responsibility for accounting, finance, forecasting, strategic planning, job costing, legal, property management, deal analysis and negotiations, and partnership compliance and private and institutional financing.
Key Responsibilities
This is a meaningful leadership role with responsibility for several key areas of the organization.
Direct Reports
We are a young, rapidly growing company seeking a candidate with 10 years of experience who is early enough in their career to grow with the organization long-term.
Current CFOs are welcome to apply, particularly from organizations of similar size and complexity.
Strong “step-up” candidates ready for their first CFO role are also encouraged to apply — the title held is less important than the actual scope of responsibility.
Relevant backgrounds may include: VP of Finance, VP of Accounting/Finance, Corporate Controller with broad financial leadership responsibility, or a senior finance executive with responsibility beyond traditional accounting.
Industry experience is not required — strong candidates from other industries are encouraged to apply as long as they bring the financial, operational, leadership, and strategic skills the role demands.
