  • Partner with accounting resources to ensure accuracy, integrity, and consistency of financial data and assumptions across segment reporting in accordance with company policies and applicable standards.

  • Provide ad hoc financial analysis to support strategic decisions, including new service line launches, customer profitability assessments, network optimization, and M&A integration activities.

Requirements

  • 10+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, or a related financial role; prior people management experience preferred.

  • Prior experience in the logistics, 3PL, or supply chain industry strongly preferred but not required.

  • Executive-level communication and presentation skills; ability to distill complex financial and operational data into clear, actionable insights for senior audiences.

  • Strong leadership capability: inspiring and developing high-performing teams while maintaining accountability and a culture of continuous improvement.
