About the Role

The Company is seeking a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to play a pivotal role in the next chapter of its growth. The CFO will be a key partner to the CEO, Board, and private equity sponsor, driving the value creation plan, capital allocation decisions, and long-term strategic growth agenda. This hands-on, transformational finance executive will lead all finance and accounting functions, develop and execute a finance transformation roadmap, and mentor the existing finance team to build a high-performance culture. The role also involves establishing best-in-class financial planning and performance management processes, improving operational and financial reporting capabilities, and leading M&A activities, including post-acquisition integration. Applicants for the CFO position at the company should have a minimum of 15 years' progressive finance and accounting leadership experience, with a strong preference for those currently in a CFO role or with a proven track record as a CFO successor. Experience in private equity-backed businesses, particularly in the context of a value creation plan that includes both organic growth and acquisitions, is essential. The ideal candidate will have a strategic mindset, be highly hands-on, and have a willingness to engage in execution when required. A background in industrial, manufacturing, engineered products, distribution, or similar complex operating environments is also necessary, along with a strong understanding of M&A processes and experience in managing lender relationships within a leveraged capital structure.
