Description

Every Fractional CFO we hire has sat in the full-time CFO seat at an 8- or 9-figure construction company.
The best candidates are busy running finance for a contractor, which means they aren't browsing job boards.
Someone has to find them, get their attention, and start a conversation.
That's this job.

What Civil CFO does

We put experienced Fractional CFOs into 8-figure construction firms. They help owners decide on pricing, cash, growth, and risk, and they push back when an owner is about to do something that will cost him the company.

What you'll own

Building and running the search for current and former construction CFOs
Writing outreach that gets replies from people who aren't looking
Running a short first-pass call to confirm a candidate meets our must-haves and is interested
Logging every qualified, interested candidate in our ATS and handing them to our team
Sending a weekly pipeline update: who you contacted, who responded, who qualified

What you won't do: final interviews, scheduling, or offers. We handle those.

The Deal

Contract (1099), hourly. $60 to $110 an hour, depending on experience. No placement fees.
About 10 hours a week, flexing up or down with our hiring needs. Starting in early December.
Fully remote, US-based. You set your own schedule and methods.
One number matters: qualified, interested candidates delivered each month.

Who We're Looking For

Must have

Experience sourcing CFO, VP Finance, or Controller roles
Comfort working inside an ATS and keeping clean records
Outreach that sounds like a person wrote it (not a template or AI)
A track record of finding passive candidates through direct outreach

Strong plus

Experience at an executive search firm
Work with small, founder-led companies
Sourcing for construction, industrial, or trades companies

How We Hire

A short written application, including a sample outreach message
A 30-minute call with our team
A paid trial in mid-November: about 10 hours of sourcing for one of our searches, at your quoted rate
References from two hiring managers you've sourced for

We're moving fast and expect to decide by mid-November. Ongoing work starts in early December at the latest.
