The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  InnovateLabs is hiring a CFO in Worcester, MA.

• Role description

  Every heads-down-and-happy CFO we've hired at InnovateLabs had two things: a grip on Strategic Planning and zero patience for general theater. Plainly put, InnovateLabs wants 17 years of Strategic Planning, will pay $252,000 - $478,000, and expects you to own the result.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Surface risks early, loudly, and with a proposed fix attached
  • Catch the small candor-rich details that derail general launches
  • Hand off Work Ethic work clean enough that nobody has to ask twice
  • Follow safety protocols and best practices at all times
  • Find the gloriously-unglamorous workaround when the official path is blocked

  What You'll Bring

  • The composure to deliver bad news early and clearly
  • Equal parts Customer Service depth and Time Management curiosity
  • A communication style that translates jargon back into plain English
  • Strong time-management skills and a bias toward action

  Ask anyone in Worcester about InnovateLabs and you'll hear the same thing: a team-oriented crew that ships fast and sweats the Time Management details. We onboard you to the general mission first and the Strategic Planning tooling second, in that order.

  We pair a $252,000 - $478,000 salary with health, dental, and vision plans, plus annual bonuses tied to team performance.

  We bumped this posting hours ago because the role is still very much open.

  We're looking for the person who reads general job posts and thinks I could fix that.
