We’re hiring: Chief Financial Officer | Umoja Health
Location: North Houston, TX, or Bolingbrook, IL | Full-time, in office
Relocation assistance available for the right candidate
Umoja Health is seeking a hands-on CFO to help lead our next stage of growth. Our businesses span food distribution, nutrition security, food for health, and third-party logistics—connecting strong business execution with meaningful community impact.
Reporting directly to the CEO, our CFO will work closely with the leadership team, board, and investors to improve financial performance, strengthen accountability, and support expansion.
We’re looking for someone who understands the numbers and the operations behind them: a commercially minded leader who can translate financial analysis into clear decisions and measurable results. Daily on-site presence at either our North Houston or Bolingbrook location is required. We welcome candidates willing to relocate and are prepared to help the right person make that move.
In this role, you will:
- Lead financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and reporting across multiple business divisions.
- Build clear visibility into customer profitability, divisional performance, pricing, and margins.
- Manage cash forecasting, working capital, inventory economics, and banking relationships.
- Partner with operating leaders to improve performance and hold teams accountable to financial commitments.
- Oversee accounting, timely monthly closes, internal controls, audits, and tax coordination.
- Deliver clear, actionable reporting to the CEO, board, investors, and lenders.
- Support acquisitions, due diligence, integration, and investment decisions.
- Develop the finance team and improve systems, automation, and reporting.
Strong candidates will bring proven CFO or senior finance leadership experience in distribution, logistics, manufacturing, food, or another inventory-based business. Deep FP&A skills, operational curiosity, and the ability to work directly with warehouse and commercial teams are essential. Private equity experience, acquisition experience, and a CPA or MBA are valued.
Our compensation and benefits package includes:
- Base salary: $200,000 annually
- Annual performance bonus: 30% target, with uncapped upside for exceeding goals
- Equity: Opportunity to earn company stock options
- Health coverage: Company-paid medical, dental, and vision premiums for employees and their families
- Retirement: 401(k) match of $0.50 per dollar contributed, up to 10% of salary
- Time off: Paid time off and paid holidays
- Relocation: Assistance available for the right candidate
