Chief of Staff

About the Role

We are seeking a Chief of Staff to the CFO who will serve as a trusted advisor, integrator, and force multiplier for the Finance leadership team. This role ensures that the CFO’s priorities are executed with discipline and consistency, while providing the governance, operating rhythm, and cross-functional integration needed to deliver on Platform Finance’s multi-year transformation agenda. Unlike the PMO (which drives enterprise program delivery) or the Transformation Program Manager (which executes day-to-day transformation milestones), the CoS focuses on strategic alignment, communication, and organizational effectiveness enabling the CFO to lead at the right altitude across All Business Units.

• Maintain the governance framework for finance, ensuring accountability, unification and transparency across functions. 
• Support finance leadership in decision-making, communication, and cross-functional integration.

• Serve as a bridge between the CFO and Finance leadership, ensuring clarity and accountability.

Basic Qualifications

• Track record of influencing at the C-suite level and managing across multiple senior stakeholders.
• Bachelor’s degree in a related field. 

Preferred Qualifications

• Masters degree (MBA, CPA) preferred. 
• Trusted advisor who able to anticipate CFO needs and operate with discretion. 
• Integrator who connects functions, people, and priorities across Finance and the enterprise.
• Strategic communicator who sharp writer and presenter, comfortable with executive and investor audiences.
• Organizational driver who creates discipline, rhythm, and accountability.
• Agile leader who balances governance with flexibility, able to adapt in a fast-paced environment.
