Chief Financial Officer

Who We Are

Emterra Group is a dynamic, growth-oriented, and safety-focused group of companies. Our organization have been deemed to be an "essential service" by providing collection and processing for recycling, organics, and waste that keep our communities clean and safe. With customer service and safety as our focus, we are looking for an energetic and driven employee to support our growing company and play a crucial role in waste diversion and the circular economy.

Emterra is proud to be recognized as one of Canada's Greenest Employers, a certified diverse supplier of the Canadian Aboriginal and Minority Supplier Council (CAMSC) and the Canadian Women Business Enterprise National Council (WBE).

The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is a key member of the executive leadership team and will be an active contributor in defining, communicating and fulfilling the company's mission, values, strategic direction and plans. The Chief Financial Officer will report to the ownership and executive leadership team and will be accountable for the overall financial stewardship of Emterra Group. This includes financial strategy, accounting, treasury, tax, capital planning, budgeting, forecasting, insurance, risk management, business analytics, financial systems, and oversight of finance-related processes that support operations across Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Michigan, and future jurisdictions.

The CFO will be expected to provide practical, data-driven advice to ownership and senior leaders, improve the quality and timeliness of financial information, and ensure the finance function supports profitable growth, operational accountability, and long-term business sustainability.

In addition to delivering on their financial duties, the CFO will play a critical role in positioning the organization for its next phase of evolution. This includes helping to conceptualize and implement advanced data, automation, and AI-enabled capabilities that reshape products, services, core business processes, and organizational systems in a practical, operationally grounded manner. The ownership group views these changes as table stakes and the strategy, as well as the tactical implementation, belongs with the business and not with any single department.

The CFO will help build enduring organizational capabilities across people, process, and technology, ensuring the business can adapt to changing regulatory, market, and competitive conditions while helping to solve complex business problems.
