The Vice President of Finance & Administration is a transformational finance leader who can operate at both ends of the spectrum architecting long-term financial strategy for a complex, multi-entity organization while also ensuring the fundamentals are executed flawlessly. This is not a role for someone who only thinks at the 30,000-foot level, nor for someone who only manages the details. We need both.

Reporting to the CFO, this role is responsible for fundamentally strengthening how EGNW's finance function works by standardizing and rebuilding financial processes to be scalable, auditable, and automation-ready.

• Oversee financial operations across all EGNW legal entities, ensuring accurate intercompany accounting, consolidated reporting, and entity-level transparency.
• Develop and maintain financial frameworks that can flex as the organizational structure evolves including new entity formation, restructuring, or changes to operating models.
• Ensure each entity meets its compliance obligations independently while contributing to a coherent, consolidated financial picture of the organization.
• Collaborate with legal and leadership teams on the financial implications of structural decisions, modeling scenarios and providing clear recommendations.

• Serve as a strategic thought partner to the CFO on multi-year financial planning, capital strategy, reserve management, and long-range…
