The successful CFO will be more than the company's senior financial executive. This individual will be expected to understand the operations of Amigos Meat, challenge leadership, when necessary, develop people, and help position the organization for its next stage of growth.

The CFO should be comfortable moving between detailed financial analysis and high-level strategy—reviewing inventory and P&L performance with a General Manager one day and presenting the company's overall financial position and long-term outlook to Board Members the next.

The ideal leader will bring extensive experience, sound judgment, strong operational understanding, and a commitment to developing the people who will lead Amigos Meat into the future.
