Vice President Finance

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for a seasoned VP of Finance to be a true strategic partner to the executive team and PE

sponsors. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role with broad ownership across FP&A, Tax, and Treasury.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll sit alongside a strong VP of Accounting and together form the core

of Eagle Railcar's finance leadership. You'll lead a team of talented finance professionals, influence

enterprise-wide strategies, and be at the center of our M&A activity as we continue to grow through

acquisition. The right person thrives in a fast-paced, PE-backed environment and brings both analytical

horsepower and executive presence.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

Financial Planning & Analysis

• Lead enterprise-wide financial planning, including the annual Budget, in-year Reforecasts, and

the 3-year Strategic Plan

• Drive monthly and quarterly financial analysis, delivering clear, actionable insights on financial

statements, KPIs, and business trends — with sharp executive-level variance explanations

• Own the quarterly earnings process end-to-end: quarterly MD&A, board financial presentations,

and executive Q&A materials

• Build and continuously improve the financial models and reporting frameworks that drive

decision-making across the business

Tax

• Oversee all federal, state, and local tax compliance and planning

• Oversee sales and use tax and property tax management

• Partner with external advisors to ensure tax structuring is integrated into M&A diligence and

transaction planning

Treasury

• Manage liquidity, cash forecasting, and working capital optimization

• Oversee banking relationships, debt compliance, and covenant reporting

• Support capital structure decisions in partnership with PE sponsors and lenders

M&A & Strategic Finance

• Play a key role in evaluating acquisition targets — from financial diligence through integration

• Partner with the CEO and board on strategic initiatives, capital allocation, and growth

investments

• Translate complex financial data into clear narratives for sponsors and lenders

Leadership & Team Development

• Lead and grow a team of direct reports spanning FP&A, Tax, and Treasury functions

• Establish the processes, systems, and culture of a high-performing finance team
  
  WHAT YOU BRING

• 12+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3–5 years in a senior leadership role

• Deep FP&A expertise with a track record of building financial planning processes in complex

environments

• Solid working knowledge of tax and treasury functions

• Experience in a PE-backed company strongly preferred; M&A experience is a significant plus

• Exceptional communication skills — you can distill complexity for any audience, from plant

managers to PE sponsors

• A bias for action and a track record of driving results, not just reporting them

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field; MBA or CPA preferred

• Experience in industrials, manufacturing, transportation, or related sectors is a plus industries

• Growth trajectory: Active M&A pipeline means your role will evolve as the business scales

• Flexibility: Hybrid-Remote with one-three days in office per week in Eastland, TX
