Director of International Finance

We are partnering with a well-established, privately held agricultural producer and distributor headquartered in California's Central Valley on a senior-level search for a Director of International Finance
. Founded over two decades ago, this company has grown from a regional farming operation into a vertically integrated global business — spanning growing, packing, and international sales — with a significant revenue base and farming investments across multiple regions in the Americas and beyond.

With an expanding international footprint spanning several growing regions and global sales markets, this is a high-impact leadership role that sits at the intersection of international finance and agricultural operations. The incoming Director will serve as a critical bridge between corporate leadership and international farming and sales teams — bringing financial rigor, strategic insight, and operational understanding to a growth-oriented, mission-driven organization.

• Develop and execute global financial strategies to support the company's international operations, expansion goals, and profitability targets.
• Oversee international financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and performance analysis across multiple regions and entities.
• Manage financial risks related to foreign exchange, cross-border investments, multi-entity structures, and regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions.
• Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting in accordance with global accounting standards and applicable local regulations.
• Serve as a key financial liaison between corporate leadership and international farming and sales operations across several global markets.
• Lead, mentor, and collaborate with regional finance teams to drive consistency, efficiency, and best practices across the organization.
• Partner with executive leadership to deliver financial insights and data‑driven recommendations that inform strategic decision‑making.
• Support mergers, acquisitions, and other international business initiatives as required.

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field;
  Master's degree preferred.
• Fully bilingual in English and Spanish (written and spoken).
• Prior experience in agriculture, food production, or vertically integrated grower/packer environments
• Significant experience in international finance, accounting, and financial leadership roles.
• Demonstrated track record managing global financial operations, cross‑border investments, and multi‑entity structures.
• Strong knowledge of ERP systems, international tax regulations, and foreign exchange management.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Proven ability to lead and influence effectively in a multicultural, multinational environment.

Highly Valued:

• Familiarity with international farming or agribusiness operations across multiple geographies.
• Comfort operating within a privately held business culture where relationships, trust, and accountability are central to how the organization operates.

• Competitive compensation ($150K–$200K) depending on experience
