The main tasks of the position can be summarized as:

• Overall responsibility for operations including finance and accounting.
• Drive new sales and maintain existing customer contacts.
• Conduct financial analysis of new and existing customers prior to underwriting.
• Lead and develop the organization.
• Reporting to the Board.
