Job Description
About Catalant:
As the pioneer of Consulting 2.0, Catalant gives the world’s leading companies on-demand access to a community of highly vetted independent consultants and former operators. Together, we deliver strategic solutions that solve our clients’ most important challenges through flexible and fit-to-purpose consulting engagements. Growing rapidly over the last 10 years, our client base now includes more than 30% of the Fortune 500, top private equity firms, and a range of other organizations seeking independent, external perspectives and professional expertise to help their businesses grow and succeed.

We’ve reimagined consulting for today’s world: it’s digitally enabled and powered by the insights and capabilities of over 100,000 seasoned professionals drawn from leading consultancies and global businesses Our consultants offer clients a competitive edge: actionable insights and hands-on support from leaders who have successfully solved similar problems before. Our business is lean, agile, and optimized to deliver best-in-class value in a way that disrupts how executives think about consulting.

Backed by world-class venture investors, we’re building the team that will take Catalant and the future of consulting to the next level.

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.
What you'll bring
  • 15+ years of progressive finance experience, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership capacity (CFO, VP Finance, or equivalent).
  • Proven experience leading finance in a high-growth, technology-enabled services or marketplace business.
  • Deep understanding of services business models, unit economics, and working capital dynamics.
  • Experience managing debt facilities, investor relations, and board communications.
  • Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills — able to move fluidly between details and long-term vision.
  • Hands-on leadership style: thrives in a lean, fast-moving environment.
  • MBA preferred, but not required.
Benefits
At Catalant, we strive to offer a work environment where employees can bring however much of their full, authentic self as they desire. With this in mind, we are happy to offer our employees:
- Flexible paid time off
- 13 company holidays + a week off from Christmas through New Years
