Schedule: FT

Req #: 2022 

About the Role

We are seeking a Chief of Staff to the CFO who will serve as a trusted advisor, integrator, and force multiplier for the Finance leadership team. This role ensures that the CFO’s priorities are executed with discipline and consistency, while providing the governance, operating rhythm, and cross-functional integration needed to deliver on Platform Finance’s multi-year transformation agenda. Unlike the PMO (which drives enterprise program delivery) or the Transformation Program Manager (which executes day-to-day transformation milestones), the CoS focuses on strategic alignment, communication, and organizational effectiveness enabling the CFO to lead at the right altitude across All Business Units.

  • Partner with PMO and TPM to ensure transformation milestones and risks are surfaced and addressed.  
  • Maintain the governance framework for finance, ensuring accountability, unification and transparency across functions. 
  • Support finance leadership in decision-making, communication, and cross-functional integration.
  • Partner with HR on organizational health, succession planning, and talent initiatives. 
  • Manage critical strategic projects that fall outside the scope of existing functions.
  • Prepare CFO for key internal and external meetings (board, investors, executives, regulators).
  • Draft communications, presentations, and updates to ensure consistent messaging.
  • Serve as a bridge between the CFO and Finance leadership, ensuring clarity and accountability.

Basic Qualifications

  • 10+ years of experience in finance, consulting, or transformation leadership. 
  • Proven experience as a Chief of Staff, strategy leader, or senior program leader in a complex enterprise.
  • Strong understanding of finance functions (Accounting, FP&A, Procurement, ERP/FIS, PMO) and transformation at scale.
  • Track record of influencing at the C-suite level and managing across multiple senior stakeholders.
  • Bachelor’s degree in a related field. 

Preferred Qualifications

  • Masters degree (MBA, CPA) preferred. 
  • Trusted advisor who able to anticipate CFO needs and operate with discretion. 
  • Integrator who connects functions, people, and priorities across Finance and the enterprise.
  • Strategic communicator who sharp writer and presenter, comfortable with executive and investor audiences.
  • Organizational driver who creates discipline, rhythm, and accountability.
  • Agile leader who balances governance with flexibility, able to adapt in a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional communication skills able to distill complexity for executive audiences.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
