Chief Financial Officer (OTE $375,000/year USD), @CXT Software

Are you a dynamic finance leader who believes the CFO role is one of the most strategic executive roles in any company? Do you wake up and get excited to drive the company’s profitable growth – both organic & through M&A? Do you take satisfaction in deploying and continuously improving processes and systems to reduce manual reconciliations and processing and enable your team to focus on insights, rather than scrubbing numbers? If so, this role is for you.

CXT Software provides the technology backbone for delivery operations, serving courier, last-mile, and healthcare logistics companies across North America. Following the merger of CXT Software and e-Courier, we’ve brought together two established platforms to create the largest TMS purpose-built for last-mile and courier operations. Since being acquired by Ionic Partners, we’re focused on driving operational efficiency, returning to profitable growth after a period of investment, and adding more acquisitions. We’re not done, and we’re looking to double our impact in the next three years and are looking for a CFO to help lead this next phase of growth.

As one of the most senior leaders in the organization, you will join a top-notch team all singularly focused on driving growth, continuous improvement, and developing a company that excels at helping our customers realize efficiencies and grow their businesses. CXT is continuing its trajectory of organic growth while actively evaluating multiple additional strategic acquisitions to strengthen our capabilities and offer our served markets the leading technology solutions they deserve. As CFO, you will be front and center on such initiatives, as well as act as one of the key faces of the company for investors, lenders and customers. You will be supported by playbooks, best practices and senior leaders honed from decades of experience at Ionic to provide the help and collaboration you need to augment the experience and judgment you bring.

This is not just a finance position; it’s an opportunity to shape the future of our organization, organically and through acquisitions, and represent CXT to investors and stakeholders. If you are ready to leverage your financial and strategic expertise to help CXT accelerate its trajectory and lead its markets, we want to hear from you!
