As one of Eastern Canada’s most diverse bulk ports, the Port of Belledune plays a vital role in regional economic development and international trade. With state-of-the-art infrastructure, a strategic location, and a commitment to sustainability, the Port is poised for transformational growth.

​

Since 2004, the Port has handled over 24 million tonnes of cargo and serviced more than 1,000 ships, connecting to over 25 countries worldwide.

The Opportunity

As a key member of the executive leadership team, as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) you will play a pivotal role in shaping the financial strategy that supports the Port’s ambitious growth, transformation, and sustainability agenda. This is a rare opportunity to help lead a nationally significant infrastructure organization at the forefront of green energy, industrial development, and international trade.

​

The CFO will be instrumental in enabling the Port’s evolution into a global leader in sustainable logistics and industrial innovation. This includes driving infrastructure expansion, unlocking new revenue streams, and structuring complex public-private partnerships that support long-term value creation.

​

The Role

Reporting to the President and CEO, you will oversee all aspects of financial operations, including budgeting, forecasting, asset management, risk management, and capital planning. You will lead a high-performing finance team and serve as a strategic advisor to the CEO, executive team, and Board of Directors.

​

This is a hands-on, high-impact role requiring both strategic vision and tactical execution. You will engage directly in financial modeling, scenario planning, and deal structuring, while also representing the Port in high-stakes negotiations with government agencies, development banks, and international investors.

​

Ideal Candidate Profile

A graduate degree or professional designation in business or finance is preferred, though not required for candidates with equivalent experience and a demonstrated track record of strategic leadership and financial acumen.

​

You are a builder and a dealmaker who is comfortable navigating regulated environments, leveraging federal programs, and aligning financial strategy with long-term organizational goals.
