Reporting to the President and CEO, the Senior Vice President, Finance and Administration is responsible for ensuring OSEG operates with the financial discipline, clarity, and operational support required to deliver sustainable profitability and long-term success. Not limited to financial reporting and control, the Senior Vice President, Finance and Administration will act as a strategic business partner to all areas of the organization, facilitating better overall accountability. This role is central to OSEG’s next phase, where improved financial performance must come from better decisions, better alignment, and better execution across all departments.

This individual will show genuine enthusiasm for OSEG’s product, mission, and community impact, and are comfortable in an environment that blends professionalism with passion, urgency with enjoyment, and discipline with creativity. They will see leadership as stewardship, balancing performance expectations with care for people and culture.

 

Equally comfortable operating at the enterprise level and in close partnership with functional leaders, the successful candidate will enable OSEG’s next phase of growth by translating strategy into financial clarity, pushing accountability deep into the organization, and ensuring the finance, IT, and administrative functions are strong, enabling, and reliable.
