Company Background & Culture
DATA INNOVATIONS (DI)
DI, a stand-alone operating company of Roper Technologies, is the market leader in automating laboratory instrument workflows to improve productivity and quality. DI is headquartered in Colchester, Vermont with additional offices in Brazil, Belgium, and Hong Kong. The majority of the company's employees work remotely.
DI is at an exciting inflection point - scaling as it transforms from a reseller model to a direct go-to-market model in the United States, its largest market, while modernizing its technology stack as a cloud-first, AI-forward company. The company takes pride in a culture that is purpose-driven, curious, results-oriented, customer-centric, and caring - valuing innovation, continuous improvement, and proactive execution.
ROPER TECHNOLOGIES

Roper operates market-leading businesses that design and develop vertical software and technology-enabled products for defensible niche markets (NASDAQ: ROP).
Role Overview
Data Innovations is seeking an accomplished Chief Financial Officer to serve as a strategic thought partner to the CEO and a driving force behind the company's financial performance and long-term growth.

In addition to financial leadership, this CFO will bring operational breadth, with oversight of the Program Management Office (PMO) and Quality & Regulatory Affairs. This expanded scope reflects DI's evolution and the need for a senior leader who can connect financial rigor with cross-functional operational excellence.
We are seeking a dynamic, humble, and results-oriented executive who embraces AI and technology as tools for smarter, faster decision-making and can support a lean, entrepreneurial culture - driving meaningful impact without unnecessary bureaucracy.
