What We Can Offer
At APMT Terminals, we foster a dynamic learning and training culture that empowers our employees to excel. Our commitment to improvement is driven by Lean principles, ensuring that every team member has the opportunity to develop their skills and advance their careers. Experience a diverse, multinational workplace where your operational insights directly influence how we work.
  • Opportunity to shape financial strategy for a critical port operation within a global logistics network
  • Exposure to joint venture governance and direct engagement with board members and shareholders
  • Leadership of high-impact CAPEX, digitalization, and transformation initiatives
  • A collaborative environment balancing strategic influence with operational execution

Key Responsibilities
  • Lead the development and execution of financial strategy to ensure profitability, risk mitigation, and long-term financial strength
  • Partner with the Managing Director/CEO and Senior Management Team to drive strategic planning and performance outcomes
  • Oversee financial operations, including reporting, tax, audit, compliance, and adherence to regulatory frameworks
  • Provide financial analysis on revenue, cost drivers, forecasts, and performance trends to inform business decisions
  • Manage CAPEX programs, including investment planning, financial modelling, and governance of large-scale infrastructure projects
  • Represent APM Terminals in joint venture governance, including board engagement and shareholder communication
  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives across financial processes, reporting accuracy, cost management, and digital transformation

What We Are Looking For
  • Continuous improvement mindset: we are looking for someone who brings a strong mindset of continuous improvement - someone who is naturally curious, committed to solving problems at the root, and driven to make things better every day
  • 15+ years of finance experience, including at least 5 years in a senior leadership role within a multinational organization
  • Strong knowledge of IFRS, U.S. tax regulations, compliance frameworks, and corporate governance requirements
  • Demonstrated experience managing large CAPEX programs and complex, multi-stakeholder environments
  • Proven ability to influence senior stakeholders, including boards, shareholders, and cross-functional leaders
  • Fluency in English; additional proficiency in Spanish and/or French is advantageous

Leadership & Stakeholder Impact
  • Act as a strategic business partner across Operations, Commercial, Procurement, and HR functions
  • Prepare and present board-level materials, engaging regularly with directors, shareholders, and JV partners
  • Lead finance teams across locations, fostering a culture of accountability, performance, and development
  • Drive capability building through coaching, training, and implementation of modern financial systems and analytics
