Purpose

Why is this role needed, what need of the organization does it address, or how is it relevant within the organization?

VSHN sees Strategy Execution, People and Finance as the 3 pillars of the organization and business. Finance is where we oversee the business accounting, liquidity, profitability and budget. While operational, administrative work might be delegated further, this is where we drive governance and impactful operational decision together, maintain budgeting and steer the operational work in and around finance.

This is one of the major domains of VSHN to ensure the function as a business and organization, other areas are for example Strategy and People. This replaces the need for top or central "classic management".
