The Director of Finance will report directly to the CFO and own the day-to-day accounting, controllership, and financial reporting function across the platform.. The role is designed for a technically strong controller ready to operate at the director level — someone who can take primary ownership of numbers while partnering with the CFO on broader financial strategy and operational priorities.

Treasury & Liquidity Oversee cash positioning, intercompany movements, and liquidity management across entities. Partner with the CFO on short- and medium-term cash forecasting. Tax & Audit Coordination Serve as the primary point of contact for external tax advisors, auditors, and compliance counsel. Lead preparation of workpapers, audit support, and tax deliverables across the entity structure. Strategic Finance Partnership Partner with the CFO on budgeting, variance analysis, and performance reporting. Support investment tracking, capital deployment analysis, and ad hoc financial projects.
