Description : About Feed Energy

Feed Energy works at the intersection of feed, fuel, and agriculture, building a nearly four-decade legacy of stewardship in various industries. We support how America nourishes its people and powers its economy. Our team comprises growth-minded individuals dedicated to transforming global practices in feeding and fueling, driving innovation across the industries we serve.

We are seeking a transformational CFO to join our executive team. This strategic, emotionally intelligent financial leader can unlock insights, mentor teams, and help build the economic infrastructure needed for our next decade of growth.

We’re not looking for a back-office accountant. We’re looking for a forward-looking financial architect who sees finance as a lens through which the business thinks, plans, and grows. You will guide Feed Energy through a cultural transformation from data-rich but insight-poor to insight-rich and future-ready . You’ll rigorously lead the financial planning & analysis (FP&A) function, educate and empower business leaders to understand the numbers behind their decisions, and partner closely with the C-Suite to drive the company.

• Translate strategy into financial insights and enable leadership to make faster, smarter decisions.

• Build real-time dashboards and reporting infrastructure to support P&L, functional areas and board-level oversight

High emotional intelligence, low ego, and a strategic mindset, with the courage to challenge the status quo and drive continuous improvement.
