The successful candidate will bring significant experience navigating complex or transformational business environments, with particular strength across capital markets, capital raising, liquidity management, financing, and corporate strategy.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a strategic partner to the CEO, Board, and executive leadership team on financial and corporate strategy.
• Lead the company's capital markets strategy, including debt and equity financing, refinancing, and other capital-raising initiatives.
• Oversee liquidity, cash flow, capital allocation, and balance-sheet strategy.
• Help lead the organization through periods of transformation, restructuring, turnaround, or significant financial complexity.
• Manage relationships with investors, lenders, financial institutions, analysts, and other key external stakeholders.
• Provide strategic leadership around long-term planning, forecasting, investment decisions, and enterprise performance.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Previous experience as a CFO or senior finance executive within a publicly traded organization.
• Demonstrated experience accessing the public and/or private capital markets and successfully raising capital.
• Strong knowledge of debt, equity, refinancing, liquidity, and capital structure management.
• Experience operating through a turnaround, restructuring, transformation, or similarly complex business environment.
• Proven ability to operate as a strategic business partner rather than solely as an accounting or controllership leader.
• Significant experience working with Boards, investors, lenders, and executive leadership teams.
• Strong understanding of public-company requirements and investor-facing responsibilities.
• Experience within energy, power, infrastructure, utilities, or another capital-intensive industry is highly desirable but not required.
• Exceptional leadership, communication, and stakeholder-management capabilities.

This opportunity is best suited for a CFO who has been tested in complex environments and is comfortable operating at the intersection of strategy, capital markets, operations, and finance.
