This is a defined CFO succession opportunity designed to attract a senior real estate finance executive — a Senior Controller, VP Finance, Director of Finance, or comparable leader — who is ready to step into enterprise-level financial leadership. The successful candidate will join the organization in a structured 2–3 year transition alongside the current Chief Financial Officer, who is preparing for retirement.
