Why this role?

This is a rare opportunity to step in as the most senior finance leader within the business unit and shape financial strategy during a pivotal growth stage. You will operate with autonomy, minimal bureaucracy, and direct access to executive decision‑makers to define financial processes, enhance reporting accuracy, and influence strategic investment across the organization.

As the company strengthens its finance capabilities, you will be central to transforming how financial data is captured, analyzed, and used to drive performance. You will improve systems, build repeatable processes, and introduce metrics that enable leaders to make timely, informed decisions.

You will lead a function with limited structure, establish financial discipline, and build a foundation that positions the organization for future CFO‑level leadership.
