About The Position

Our client is a global platform of operating companies delivering technology-enabled supply chain, logistics, and marketing execution solutions. The organization operates across North America and internationally, combining technology, analytics, and execution to help enterprise and high-growth clients improve profitability and performance. The business is in a phase of active transformation and value creation — not steady-state operations. We are seeking a Transformation CFO — a leader who thrives in complexity, operates with urgency, and brings both hands-on execution and strategic clarity. This is a high-impact role for a finance leader who can: Drive liquidity and cash discipline. Restore and expand profitability. Build a scalable financial foundation. Partner with the CEO and Board to create enterprise value. You will serve as the guardian of capital, architect of financial strategy, and catalyst for performance improvement across a global, multi-entity platform. This is not a reporting role. This is a build, fix, and scale role.
