This is a hands-on role with real influence. You will work at the heart of the business, translating growth into clear, reliable financial operations. The role is ideal for a finance professional who enjoys responsibility, autonomy, and building systems that last.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you will be a key partner in strengthening operational discipline, financial clarity, and execution as the company scales.

Scope & Focus of the Role

This role is designed for someone who wants to build impact through execution.

You will focus on operational finance, working closely with internal teams to create clarity, reliability, and scalable processes. The scope allows you to move fast, make decisions, and see the results of your work directly in the business.

This is an opportunity to shape how finance operates inside a growing infrastructure company.
