Our client is a small but well-funded and rapidly growing federal government contractor entering an exciting phase of expansion. This is not a role for someone looking to manage a large, established finance organization. It is an opportunity for a hands-on finance leader who enjoys building processes, solving problems, partnering with executive leadership, and helping shape the infrastructure of a growing company.

Reporting directly to the President, the Director of Finance will be overseeing the company's financial operations while helping establish the financial foundation needed to support significant future growth. As part of a small leadership team, this individual will be wearing multiple hats, influencing strategic decisions, and having a highly visible impact across the organization.

The Director of Finance will also be overseeing the company's FP&A function and partnering closely with operations, contracts, HR, and business development.
