The posting

Reports to: Chief Financial Officer, kdc/one Location: [Saddle Brook, NJ]   Position Summary Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, the Director of Strategic Finance & Value Creation serves as the CFO's analytical right hand — assisting the CFO in driving enterprise-wide analysis and projects that drive value creation. As a private equity–backed business, kdc/one operates with a clear mandate to grow earnings and improve cash generation. This role supports that mandate – bringing rigorous financial analysis to strategic and operational decisions and owning projects and initiatives that free up CFO capacity. The successful candidate combines the analytical depth of a former investment banking, private equity, or consulting professional with the pragmatism required to operate inside a fast-moving, global manufacturing organization.   Key Responsibilities Enterprise & Value-Creation Analysis

Assist the CFO in driving enterprise-wide analysis of profitability, margin, and cash flow — identifying where value is created and eroded across business units, sites, customers, and product categories. Build and maintain the analytical framework that links operational drivers to financial outcomes, enabling the CFO to prioritize the highest-return value-creation initiatives. Quantify, track, and report on the value-creation initiatives, holding initiative owners accountable to committed targets.

Decision Support to the CFO

Serve as the CFO's thought partner on strategic and operational decisions, delivering structured, data-driven recommendations under tight timelines. Translate complex analyses into clear, executive-ready narratives and recommendations. Support development of enterprise-wide financial methodologies for performance and help drive necessary change management.

Performance Management

Develop enterprise KPIs and dashboards that provide a real-time view of enterprise performance against the value-creation plan. Develop enterprise methodologies for critical performance metrics allowing the CFO and LT to make fact-based decisions on operating performance and areas of focus to improve performance.

  CFO Support

Lead and support a range of cross-functional projects and initiatives on the CFO’s behalf (enterprise-wide finance training development, procurement spend including inflation and directed buy, margin improvement plan, global banking) Ad-hoc support

  Qualifications Experience & Education

8+ years of progressive experience in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, corporate development, or strategic finance/FP&A — ideally with exposure to PE-backed or industrial/manufacturing businesses. Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, or related field; MBA, CFA, or CPA strongly preferred. Demonstrated track record of analysis that drove measurable financial or operational improvement.

Skills & Attributes

Elite financial modeling and analytical skills; fluent in building EBITDA bridges, value-creation models, and scenario analysis from the ground up. Strong command of the levers that drive enterprise value — margin, cash conversion, capital efficiency, and growth. Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to distill complexity into executive- and board-ready recommendations. Comfortable operating with ambiguity, autonomy, and urgency. High integrity, intellectual curiosity, and a bias toward action and ownership.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
