About The Position

As the Operations and Finance Manager for Fractile (an affiliate company of Clark Construction), you are a strategic partner to the leadership team of a rapidly scaling construction technology firm. Fractile is poised for explosive growth, with a mandate to 10x the business through a captive client base and clear market demand. While the company possesses a top-tier product and a strong talent team, we need a builder to construct the infrastructure required to scale. You are tasked with institutionalizing the processes that will allow Fractile to evolve from a high-potential venture into a structured, dominant industry player. This is a high-visibility role for a professional who possesses the "operational rigor" of a controller, the strategic mindset of a consultant, and the "bias for action" of an entrepreneur. You will manage, lead, and "get your hands dirty" in all things finance and operations to drive financial health and portfolio-wide optimization.

Requirements

• 4–7 years of professional experience in finance, accounting, construction management, or high-growth operations.
• Undergraduate degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, Economics, or a related discipline.
• Analytical Powerhouse: Strong technical abilities, including expert proficiency in Excel. Experience with databases, SAP, or other analytical tools is highly valued.
• Builder Mindset: A desire to build processes from scratch rather than just managing existing ones.
• Ability to navigate ambiguity: You must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where the path forward isn't always clearly defined.

Responsibilities

• Financial Lifecycle Management: You will serve as the financial backbone of the business, ensuring meticulous control from project inception to completion. This includes expert setup of new projects and budgets, and the timely processing of monthly pay applications/invoices.
• Reporting & Insights: Go beyond simple reporting to provide the "so-what." You will prepare comprehensive monthly job status reports and financial statements, providing a clear picture of Fractile’s health to executive leadership.
• Cash Flow Optimization: Manage the "nuts and bolts" of the business by setting up vendors, managing internal software systems, and meticulously processing invoices to ensure timely payments and healthy cash flow.
• Process Institutionalization: Proactively identify operational bottlenecks and undefined workflows. You will be responsible for building and documenting the scalable standard operating procedures (SOPs) required to support a 10x growth trajectory.
• Scalable Workflows: Design and implement strategies, templates, and processes that boost efficiency and elevate quality control across all operational activities.
• Automate for Accuracy: Manage and evolve our reporting systems, building automated, reliable information streams that empower rapid decision-making and reduce manual administrative burden.
• Financial Modeling: Partner closely with leadership to develop robust financial forecasts and models to evaluate new lines of business, staffing requirements, and expansion opportunities.
• Strategic Planning: Play an active role in annual budgeting and long-term planning, translating complex financial data into actionable intelligence that shapes Fractile’s future.
• Market Intelligence: Support the acquisition of new work by synthesizing financial capabilities into winning strategic proposals and helping leadership understand market-informed research.
