• Previous experience working in a private equity-backed organization, ideally within a business generating more than $100M in annual revenue.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, including the ability to interact confidently with executive leadership, private equity investors, and board-level stakeholders.

• Strong business partnering skills and the ability to establish productive relationships across finance, sales, operations, and project management teams.

• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, work independently, and deliver accurate results with limited supervision.

• Adaptability and a continuous improvement mindset, with the curiosity and initiative to explore new technologies, improve systems, and proactively resolve challenges.

• Professional, confident, and collaborative approach, combining sound business judgment with the ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and concisely.

• Availability to work remotely from the United States, preferably within the Eastern or Central time zones.

Benefits:
