About the Role We are seeking a strategic, hands-on Vice President of Finance to serve as a key financial leader across our multi-business-line enterprise.

• Cost Accounting Mastery: Hands-on experience analyzing and managing both physical COGS and digital/SaaS unit economics.

• Treasury Expertise: Deep experience in active cash management, liquidity forecasting, and banking relationship oversight.

• Geographic Flexibility: Willingness to travel periodically to Iowa City, IA and Minnesota as business operational needs require.

• Industry Experience (Plus): Prior exposure to publishing, media, or printing business models is a strong plus, though not required.
