With new leadership often comes new inspiration and, in this case, the opportunity to build a “Dream Team.” Our client, once family-owned and operated for over 40 years, was recently acquired by private equity. A vertically integrated agriscience company and leader in the horticultural industry, they offer both private label and branded products for retailers, focusing on providing high quality products at the best price. With their rich history, outstanding reputation, an infusion of capital, and a highly experienced newly promoted President, they are poised to grow and scale the business.
As Vice President of Finance, the successful candidate will play a critical role as a key member of the strategic leadership “Dream Team” working closely with the President, the Board of Directors, and the Private Equity Partner. They will build out and develop the existing finance team as they establish new financial reporting structures, processes, and internal controls required to support strong business growth.
Key success factors:
The ideal candidate will…
Have a ‘roll-up-your-sleeves’ mindset, coupled with an ability to see and shape the big picture and be highly results oriented with the ability to pivot quickly. A strategic thinker, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, as well as a high degree of integrity and credibility and a commitment to the values of quality and continuous improvement. The candidate will provide insights and strategic perspective gained through previous experience in a manufacturing setting, ideally having had exposure to both supply chain and logistics.
The candidate will also be fully bilingual, French and English, have six plus years of progressive senior financial and business leadership experience, and have spearheaded or been deeply involved in the implementation of a new ERP system. A CPA, CA designation is preferred, and an MBA would be an asset.
