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.
