Archived listing. The details below describe a past opening.
Senior Director, Finance Help build Canada's next global success story.
We are hiring for one of Canada's fastest growing technology companies, recognized by Deloitte as the #1 Enterprise Software company in the 2025 North American Technology Fast 500 and ranked #5 in Deloitte Canada's 2024 Technology Fast 50 Companies to Watch.
This is a rare opportunity for an accomplished finance leader to join a high growth Canadian technology company at a pivotal stage of its journey, with a clear path toward a future VP.
We are looking for someone who has been there before. A leader who has helped companies scale, built teams and financial infrastructure, navigated complexity and knows how to evolve a finance function as a business moves into its next chapter.
You will work closely with the CFO, CEO, and colleagues across the leadership team in a highly collaborative environment where finance is a strategic partner to the business.
This is an opportunity to help shape what comes next.
The Mandate
As Director, Finance, you will build and evolve the finance function to support continued growth across Canada, the US, UK and Australia.
Your mandate will include:
- Build and lead a finance function and team designed for scale
- Strengthen financial controls, governance, reporting and infrastructure
- Lead controllership, accounting operations and financial reporting
- Develop robust budgeting, forecasting and long-range planning capabilities
- Partner with executive and operational leaders to drive visibility into performance, margins and business opportunities
- Turn financial and operational data into insights that improve decision-making
- Lead cash flow, treasury and capital planning
- Support board reporting, investor communications and strategic planning
- Drive improvements across finance systems, billing and processes
- Partner with leadership on new markets, products, partnerships and other growth opportunities
Who You Are
- You are an experienced finance leader who knows what it takes to scale a business.
- You have likely been part of a company going through significant growth and understand that the finance function has to evolve alongside it.
- You know how to build the team, systems and processes needed for the next stage without creating unnecessary complexity or slowing the business down.
You bring:
- Significant finance leadership experience in a high-growth technology, SaaS, platform or technology-enabled business
- A proven track record of scaling companies and building high-performing teams
- Strong experience across controllership, FP&A, strategic finance and business partnering
- Experience working directly with CEOs, CFOs and executive leadership teams
- Strong commercial judgment and the ability to connect finance to business performance
- The ability to operate strategically while remaining close enough to the business to get things done
- A collaborative, low-ego leadership style and the confidence to influence across functions
- Experience thriving in entrepreneurial, fast-moving environments
- CPA, CA or equivalent professional qualification
Why This Role
You will join at a moment when the company has significant momentum and an even bigger ambition.
You will have the opportunity to build, influence and grow alongside the business, working with an executive team that values collaboration, ownership and people who know how to turn ambition into execution.
For the right leader, this role is more than the next step in finance.
It is the opportunity to help shape the finance function, build a team, influence the direction of the company and grow into a broader VP level mandate as the business scales.
If you've helped build companies before and are ready to help build what comes next, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
Build something extraordinary. Build something Canada can be proud of.
