ABOUT EAGLE RAILCAR

Eagle Railcar is a growing force in the railcar industry and we're just getting started. Backed by private equity and executing on an ambitious growth strategy, we're building a best-in-class finance organization to match our operational momentum. We move fast, think big, and expect our leaders to do the same. If you're looking for a role where you can shape the financial architecture of a dynamic, acquisitive business, not just manage the status quo this is it.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a seasoned VP of Finance to be a true strategic partner to the executive team and PE sponsors. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with broad ownership across FP&A, Tax, and Treasury. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll sit alongside a strong VP of Accounting and together form the core of Eagle Railcar's finance leadership. You'll lead a team of talented finance professionals, influence enterprise-wide strategies, and be at the center of our MandA activity as we continue to grow through acquisition. The right person thrives in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment and brings both analytical horsepower and executive presence. What Youll Own Financial Planning and Analysis: Lead enterprise-wide financial planning, including the annual Budget, in-year Reforecasts, and the 3-year Strategic Plan. Drive monthly and quarterly financial analysis, delivering clear, actionable insights on financial statements, KPIs, and business trends with sharp executive-level variance explanations. Own the quarterly earnings process end-to-end: quarterly MD&A, board financial presentations, and executive Q&A materials. Build and continuously improve the financial models and reporting frameworks that drive decision-making across the business. Tax: Oversee all federal, state, and local tax compliance and planning; oversee sales and use tax and property tax management; partner with external advisors to ensure tax structuring is integrated into MandA diligence and transaction planning. Treasury: Manage liquidity, cash forecasting, and working capital optimization; oversee banking relationships, debt compliance, and covenant reporting; support capital structure decisions in partnership with PE sponsors and lenders. MandA and Strategic Finance: Play a key role in evaluating acquisition targets from financial diligence through integration; partner with the CEO and board on strategic initiatives, capital allocation, and growth investments; translate complex financial data into clear narratives for sponsors and lenders. Leadership and Team Development: Lead and grow a team of direct reports spanning FP&A, Tax, and Treasury functions; establish the processes, systems, and culture of a high-performing finance team. What You Bring 12+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3-5 years in a senior leadership role. Deep FP&A expertise with a track record of building financial planning processes in complex environments. Solid working knowledge of tax and treasury functions. Experience in a PE-backed company strongly preferred; MandA experience is a significant plus. Exceptional communication skills you can distill complexity for any audience, from plant managers to PE sponsors. A bias for action and a track record of driving results, not just reporting them. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred. Experience in industrials, manufacturing, transportation, or related sectors is a plus.
