Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
About The Position
This is a unique opportunity for a strategic, hands-on financial leader who thrives in a lean, entrepreneurial, private equity-backed environment. You’ll partner directly with our CEO, Executive Leadership Team, Board of Directors, and Private Equity stakeholders — while remaining close enough to the business to personally dig into the models, forecasts, cash flow, and financial drivers behind the decisions. As Verve’s CFO, you’ll lead the financial strategy and operations of the company while helping shape our next chapter of growth and value creation. You’ll be our senior financial thought partner — bringing clarity to complexity, challenging assumptions, identifying opportunities, protecting liquidity, and helping us make smarter decisions. This is a player-coach CFO role, serving as Verve’s sole FP&A resource, personally owning and executing budgeting, forecasting, financial modeling, analysis, and reporting while supporting department leaders as they develop and manage their own budgets.
