Burnaby, Canada Svante Full time

**Who are we?**

Svante is a rapidly growing climate technology company making commercial-scale carbon capture and removal a reality and enabling global industries to play offense in the fight against climate change by reversing the flow of carbon. As a growth-focused company, we want to ensure that all elements of our business are ready and able to support our scaling, including our financial reporting, capital markets engagement and corporate services functions.

**Who are you?**

As a Chief Financial Officer, you bring a world-class background in strategic finance and the capital markets to complement Svante’s senior executive team. You will leverage your deep expertise in public and private company financial reporting (both US and Canadian), treasury, tax and internal controls as well as an established network and reputation to ensure Svante is ready to be the global leader in the carbon capture and removal industry. The CFO will lead efforts to manage shareholders to maintain a successful business relationship with existing investors and to secure future funding (private and/or public).

The CFO will oversee, support and develop senior leaders who have built a team of ~15 seasoned professionals with the mission to guide and develop this team through the Company’s commercialization phase. The right individual will achieve a balance between a robust, well-controlled environment and a fast-paced dynamic business and market context, while ensuring the team achieves excellence in internal controls and financial reporting and prepares the tax and treasury functions for rapid global growth. The CFO will ensure the adoption and implementation of new digital business technologies to create a connected finance organization that can produce real-time insights to inform key business decisions and drive enterprise value. Under certain circumstances, there may be flexibility to consider a contract or fractional arrangement with respect to this role for an initial period.

- Identify and mitigate financial risks, while optimizing the company's capital structure.
- Oversee the company's strategic planning, FP&A, and budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting, and ensure the delivery of high-quality annual budgets and multi-year financial forecasts to the board of directors which achieve organizational objectives and optimize financial resources
- Ensure best-in-class risk management, compliance, financial controls and processes, including development towards eventual Sarbanes-Oxley compliance.
- Provide coaching and mentorship to the corporate services leadership team
- Drive continuous improvement in financial systems, processes, and team capabilities.
- Represent the company in financial matters with external stakeholders, including investors, lenders, regulators, and auditors.
- Act as a cultural leader within senior management team, operating by Svante’s Core Values and making decisions that attract and develop world class talent
