Overview
The organization is seeking a Finance Manager to lead core financial operations for a growing business with significant ownership over how the finance function is structured, systematized, and run going forward. This role combines traditional financial management—budgeting, forecasting, and invoicing—with a mandate to build the underlying systems, processes, and controls that will scale with the business, including a company-wide finance transformation to a single financial platform.
The Finance Manager will partner closely with senior leadership, contribute to operational and strategic decision-making, and gain exposure across multiple business lines and functions as the organization grows.
