Chief Financial Officer | Construction & Development (NYC)

New York City · On-Site · Full-Time · $185,000 to $250,000 + Performance Bonus + Benefits

Own the finance function behind thousands of homes.

A 45-year-old, family-founded NYC general contractor and developer, specializing in affordable, supportive, and mixed-income housing, is hiring a Chief Financial Officer to lead its finance function and serve as a true strategic partner to ownership. (The company name is confidential at this stage of the search.)

This is a finance leadership seat with real scale behind it: more than $3B in completed construction, over 10,000 apartments delivered, and a secured pipeline north of $1B.
