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.

• 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.

• Own full P&L performance with accountability for margin improvement.

• Drive cost optimization, pricing discipline, and operational efficiency initiatives.

• Partner with business leaders to improve unit economics and contract profitability.

• Build real-time KPI dashboards that enable action, not just reporting.

• Develop scenario modeling, restructuring options, and value creation plans.

• Support M&A, divestitures, and integrations with a focus on ROI and execution discipline.

Financial Operations & Governance

• Oversee FP&A, Accounting, Tax, Treasury, Compliance, and Financial Reporting.

• Ensure compliance with US GAAP and global statutory requirements.

• Establish clear, decision-grade reporting for the CEO, Board, and investors.

• Strengthen internal controls while maintaining speed and agility. Commercial Partnership

• Partner on pricing, deal structuring, and client negotiations.

• Ensure contracts reflect economic reality, margin expectations, and risk mitigation.

• Provide financial rigor to growth initiatives and new service offerings.

Transformation & Systems

• Lead finance transformation, including ERP optimization, automation, and data governance.

• Build a forward-looking finance function leveraging analytics and AI. Leadership

• Build and lead a high-performing global finance organization.

• Operate effectively across a US–India model and multi-entity structure.

• Foster a culture of ownership, urgency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Qualifications & Experience Education & Credentials

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field required.

• MBA and/or CPA preferred.

• Equivalent experience leading complex financial organizations may be considered in lieu of formal credentials.

Experience

• 20+ years of progressive finance leadership experience.

• Proven experience as a CFO or equivalent senior finance leader.

• Demonstrated success in turnaround, restructuring, or high cash-pressure environments.

• Experience in multi-entity, global organizations with US GAAP reporting.

• Track record of direct engagement with Boards, lenders, and investors.

Technical & Functional Expertise

• Deep command of US GAAP, financial reporting, and internal controls.

• Strong expertise in cash flow management, working capital optimization, and liquidity planning.

• Proven ownership of P&L, forecasting, and margin improvement initiatives.

• Experience with capital structure management, including debt, equity, and covenants.

• Familiarity with ERP systems, finance transformation, and automation. Preferred Background

• Experience in private equity-backed or founder-led environments.

• Industry experience in supply chain, logistics, or technology-enabled services.

• Exposure to US-India operating models or global capability centers.

Leadership Profile

• Hands-on operator with a strong bias for action and accountability.

• Ability to operate at both strategic and execution levels simultaneously.

• Strong commercial instincts and decision-making under pressure.

• Willingness to lean in, challenge constructively, and drive outcomes.

• High integrity, resilience, and ownership mindset.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to:

• Shape the financial trajectory of a global, multi-platform business.

• Partner directly with the CEO and Board on high-impact decisions.

• Lead a true transformation — not incremental change.

• Build a modern, technology-enabled finance organization.

Closing Thought

Credentials are valued.

Proven performance in high-pressure operating environments is essential.

We are not looking for a caretaker.

We are looking for a builder who can operate in the storm and create long-term value on the other side.
