at  Schuyler Farms Limited

Job Summary: The Senior Director of Financial Operations will oversee the financial strategy, operations, and reporting for Schuyler Farms and its subsidiaries. The Senior Director will ensure alignment with the company’s goals, driving financial success and operational efficiency across all entities. This role requires an individual who is humble, driven, and is solutions oriented.
Humble – Employees that are team players and are respectful of others and the job at hand. Great team players lack excessive ego or concerns about status. Humble employees are quick to point out contributions of others and slow to seek attention of their own.
Driven – Employees who are motivated and focused on self improvement. Driven or hungry employees are always looking for more. More things to do, learn, and take responsibility for. They never have to be pushed by a manager to work harder because they are self-motivated and diligent.
Solutions Oriented – Employees who focus on solving, and preventing problems from occurring, not just identifying them. This is equal parts of problems with systems and processes and the common sense that an employee has about people. They are aware, act appropriately, ask good questions, and listen to understand.
