Vencora Portfolio Finance Director

Job Summary:

Vencora Finance Director. Open to hiring in Canada, US or UK\Europe

At Vencora, our purpose is simple and profound: to unlock potential — in the businesses we acquire, the customers they serve, and the people who make it all happen.

We bring together a strong family of financial services technology businesses, built on decentralized operations, disciplined capital allocation, and the patient compounding of value. We acquire great businesses and hold them forever, giving them the infrastructure, support and ambition to become something greater than they were before. Vencora is an operating group of Constellation Software (ticker: CSU.TO), one of the most successful acquirers in the software industry.

Our culture is defined by four qualities we look for in every leader: Character — doing the right thing, always. Conviction — the courage to back bold ideas and see them through. Curiosity — a relentless appetite to learn, innovate and improve. And Competence — delivering with excellence, every time.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a seasoned and values-driven Finance Director to serve as a key member of our finance leadership team and a genuine partner to the CFO.

This is not a conventional Finance Director role. Vencora is at an inflection point — scaling acquisition velocity and building the financial architecture to support a business that compounds value across decades. The right person will bring the rigour of a world-class finance leader and the curiosity and conviction of a true business builder.

The Finance Director will be a steward of financial integrity and a champion of the belief that financial discipline and human potential are not in tension — they are complementary. They will support large acquisition velocity and help build the foundations for Vencora's next chapter, all while staying true to the Constellation philosophy of long-term, disciplined value creation.
