With operations in sustainable aviation fuel, clean hydrogen, advanced biofuels, and now pioneering decarbonization as a service, World Energy is collaborating to confront the biggest decarbonization challenges in the hardest-to-abate sectors. For over 25 years World Energy has been at the forefront of commercializing new renewable fuels and is now developing over $15 billion of new capital projects to push the frontier of clean energy at scale. 

Driving change can only come from people and teams committed to the relentless and passionate pursuit of better ways to power the work that needs to get done. World Energy is built on trust, authenticity, and transparency. We respect our common humanity and the power that comes from what makes each of us unique. We believe that passion and collaboration are the keys to accomplishing great things and strive to be a force for good.

The Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) will be a strategic member of the World Energy leadership team as the organization transitions to align with its new business model as a provider of decarbonization services. This role will report to the Co-Founder and CEO and work closely with the Business Unit Leaders and current/future investors to lead the planning and analysis, financial reporting, working capital management, asset/liability management, budget and forecasting, lender relationships, and treasury management, and act as the primary interface for all banking, tax, and audit stakeholders.

The CFO will embrace the opportunity to upgrade systems, improve processes and operations, and support continued growth. Furthermore, the executive’s challenge will be to build the team to become a value-added and analytical partner to support strategic, operational, and agile decision-making.

The CFO must be an energetic, strategic, and hands-on manager with a mature, influencing leadership style. Critical to success in this role will be the ability to pivot comfortably from strategic partnership to exceptional execution. The CFO will be an exceptional communicator and act as the spokesperson on all financial matters as it relates to World Energy and will play a highly visible role with investors, regulators, and stakeholders across the supply chain. The CFO will be viewed as a potential succession candidate to the CEO.

The successful candidate will be an operationally minded CFO with experience building systems to manage KPIs and monitor working capital. They will bring a deep understanding of value chain and product management, ideally gained within complex manufacturing or clean-technology business. Critical to success will be the CFO being a highly effective ‘storyteller,’ capable of telling the World Energy LLC story, as well as bringing a confident, unflappable style with exceptional people leadership skills.
