SkyWater Search Partners Looking for Chief Financial Officer at Hamel, MN Full Time

I have been fully retained by a fast-growing technology company in the Twin Cities to find their next Chief Financial Officer and I couldn’t be more excited! This is an amazing opportunity to be a part of something truly special. The company has seen tremendous growth in its 25+ years of business (with no slowdown in sight) and has built a culture that is quite reputable. Their core values aren’t just arbitrary statements on a wall – every employee I’ve talked to lives and breathes these core values and it shows in the culture that has been built. People love working at this company.

You will be the senior financial leader for the organization, overseeing Finance, Operations, HR and Legal so extensive finance experience is needed. I am open to a finance professional looking to step into a CFO seat for the first time or a sitting CFO. The current CFO is retiring after 20+ years with the business so these are big shoes to fill (but a great transition plan is in place).

You will report directly to the President so I need someone who enjoys digging in to understand all aspects of the business as you will be his right-hand person. You must enjoy partnering and collaborating cross-functionally. You need to be able to speak on behalf of the company both internally and externally, delivering financial information in a manner that non-financial individuals can understand. You must feel comfortable speaking up and challenging the status quo.

If you are interested in connecting on this role, please reach out. [email protected] | 952.767.9025

Please note that only local candidates to the Twin Cities will be considered.
