Job Description

CFO job at Primary Arms. Houston, TX.

Overview

Chief Financial Officer Primary Arms Corporate Website

Primary Arms is seeking a seasoned and strategic Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to lead our finance function through its next growth phase. This is a pivotal leadership opportunity for a mission-aligned executive who thrives in fast-paced, multi-channel environments—and views finance not just as a function, but as a strategic enabler of operational excellence, cultural transformation, and long-term value creation. This is not a typical CFO role. It requires someone who can navigate complexity with clarity, build scalable systems, and partner across functions to drive impact. For the right leader, this is a chance to help shape the future of a uniquely positioned, values-driven organization.

About Us

We are a fast-growing, privately held company operating at the intersection of manufacturing, e-commerce, wholesale distribution, and government contracting. With a national footprint, growing international presence, and significant operational complexity, we are on a mission to scale with purpose, precision, and performance.

Founded with a passion for service, Primary Arms is an industry leader, with diversified business units spanning e-commerce, wholesale, government contracting, and manufacturing. We’ve built a loyal customer base and a reputation for operational excellence. We are entering a bold new chapter—driven by ambitious growth goals, expanding product lines, and a renewed focus on purpose-led leadership. The CFO will play a central role in enabling this transformation by bringing financial rigor, strategic foresight, and a collaborative spirit to the executive team.

Culture

Culture is the heartbeat of Primary Arms. We are actively engaged in a cultural transformation focused on clarity, accountability, collaboration, and purpose. Our leadership team is building a high-performance, people-first organization where values and execution go hand in hand. We empower leaders at all levels, celebrate wins, learn from setbacks, and build trust through transparency and follow-through. The CFO will be expected to model and advance this mindset—serving not only as a financial steward, but also as a cultural leader.
