About the Opportunity

• Monitor and manage cash flow, margins, and overall financial performance
• Determine which customers, products, and business lines create the most value
• Set priorities for systems, data, cybersecurity, automation, and AI adoption as executive lead of IT
• Bring greater financial discipline and visibility while preserving the company's entrepreneurial pace
• Lead and develop the Finance function and its people

Ideal Qualifications

• Currently a CFO, VP of Finance, divisional finance leader, or senior financial executive ready for broader enterprise responsibility
• Experience in manufacturing, food, consumer products, or another operationally complex environment
• Strong financial fundamentals paired with sound commercial judgment
• Comfortable moving between high-level strategy and hands-on execution
• Strategic, analytical, decisive, confident, curious, and commercially aware
• Comfortable respectfully challenging ownership and leadership
• Able to simplify complexity and build credibility across finance, operations, sales, technology, and governance
• Family-business experience is an asset but not required
