Are you a strategic thinker who thrives at the intersection of finance and growth
? We are looking for a sharp, commercially-minded Customer Finance Manager (CFM) to serve as the financial architect for our New Business Development (NBD) team.

In this role, you aren’t just “running the numbers”—you are an integral part in our expansion strategy. You will partner with the NBD team to enter untapped industries, crafting competitive quotes and complex financial models that ensure our growth is not just fast, but profitable.

• Construct “Winning” Quotes: Partner with the NBD Sales Manager to build pricing models for new markets, ensuring we account for unique industry risks, capital requirements, and margin targets.

• Execute Successful Handoffs: Upon award, successfully handoff the project to the launch team, communicating pricing strategies and ensuring seamless continuity to the customer.

• A Commercial Partner: You understand that finance is an enabler of sales, not a hurdle. You can speak the language of “Growth” and “Margin” in the same breath.
• Analytical Rigor: You have a mastery of Excel and financial modeling. You can simulate various scenarios to stress‑test a deal.
• Persuasive Communicator: You can distill complex financial models into clear, actionable insights for executive leadership.
