Role Description

Catalant is growing rapidly, with strong unit economics, top-tier clients, and a profitable, scalable business model. As we enter our next phase of growth — deepening enterprise partnerships, launching new productized services, and expanding globally — we’re seeking a strategic, hands-on Chief Financial Officer to lead our financial strategy and operations.

The CFO will be a key member of the executive leadership team, partnering directly with the CEO and President to shape Catalant’s growth trajectory and ensure financial discipline as we scale. This leader will oversee all aspects of finance — including FP&A, accounting, capital markets, strategic finance, and risk management — and play a pivotal role in strategic planning, investor relations, and corporate development.

This is both a strategic and operational role : Catalant is a lean, fast-moving organization, and the CFO will be expected to roll up their sleeves while providing thought leadership on long-term financial and company strategy.

What you'll do

• Strategic & Financial Leadership
• Serve as a thought partner to the CEO and leadership team in defining and executing Catalant’s financial and strategic roadmap.
• Lead the annual and long-range financial planning process, aligning financial goals with company objectives and investor expectations.
• Develop strategic insights into Catalant’s business model, platform dynamics, and margin structure to guide pricing, investment, and capital allocation decisions.
• Financial Operations & Controls
• Oversee accounting, reporting, and financial operations, ensuring GAAP compliance and operational excellence.
• Strengthen Catalant’s financial infrastructure, systems, and controls to support scalability and speed of insight.
• Lead FP&A to provide forward-looking, data-driven decision support to business leaders.
• Develop and implement the right reporting cadence to help drive performance and accountability and to inform changes to how we operate and to our strategy.
• Capital Markets & Investor Relations
• Manage banking relationships, including debt facilities, covenants, and refinancing strategies.
• Lead board and investor communications, ensuring transparency and credibility.
• Evaluate capital structure and financing opportunities to support growth, including potential M&A or strategic investments.
• Leadership & Culture
• Build, mentor, and develop a high-performing finance team.
• Foster a culture of accountability, curiosity, and continuous improvement consistent with Catalant’s values.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Sales, and Operations leaders to drive operational efficiency and alignment.
