• Partner with Sales, Procurement, and Project teams on commercial terms, payment structures, guarantees, and financial risk before contracts are signed.

• Provide Senior Leadership with clear visibility into liquidity, funding requirements, project profitability, and overall financial performance.

• Experience in EPC, infrastructure, construction, equipment manufacturing, data centers, or other project-based businesses.

• Demonstrated experience in treasury, cash flow management, and working capital within a project-based or capital-intensive business.

• Experience reviewing complex customer, supplier, and subcontractor contracts from a financial perspective.

• Strong understanding of project profitability, cost-to-complete, and financial risk.

• Comfortable working cross-functionally with Sales, Procurement, Legal, Project, Operations, and Senior Leadership.
