I’m excited to partner with a long time candidate turned client who is the CFO of a well known retail chain looking to hire a Controller. The role is newly created and this person will own the entire accounting function (team of 15) and focused on operational accounting.
Must have retail experience and a track record of leading a team as we are looking for someone with strong leadership skills to be able to hit the ground running.
This is a stable company where there aren’t “fires to put out” and we are looking for a leader who loves collaboration as this is a fully onsite role. If you’re looking to find a long term home and be part of a well run organization I’d love to hear from you.
