Sagetech Avionics Inc (Sagetech) is an aerospace manufacturer known globally in the defense and unmanned aircraft industries for their robust and extremely small avionics products. Formed in 2019 in the heart of the outdoor recreation haven of the Columbia River Gorge, the company has grown from a dozen to over 50 employees. With an industry leading position globally, supplying FAA and DoD certified products to manufacturers of large UAVs, government defense agencies, and next-generation transport aircraft (eVTOL) manufacturers, Sagetech is poised to accelerate their growth dramatically over the next 1-3 years.
An agile, “scrappy” startup mentality has enabled the company’s success to date and will continue to be a key part of their culture. At the same time, near-term major defense and other contracts indicate a need for structure and scalability. This creates a unique opportunity for an energetic, hands-on finance professional to help shape the future of the company as it scales.
The Role
The CEO and board are seeking a hands-on finance leader to assume the new role of Chief Financial Officer. The CFO will be a thought partner to the CEO, helping ensure IR&D and capital investments, cost structure and strategic planning result in maximum shareholder value. The position will be responsible for the day-to-day execution of all aspects of finance and accounting. This role reports to the Chief Executive Officer, and is located at Sagetech Avionics’ headquarters in Bingen, Washington.
