Reporting to the CEO and working across the Executive team, you will have a highly strategic and commercial mandate. You will be supported by solid direct reports across FP&A, Financial Control, Risk, Compliance, Business Intelligence and Corporate Development, creating capacity for you to drive strategic and commercial value as CFO – both internally and externally.
Ideally, we are seeking professionals with a background in advisory, corporate finance and/or investment banking. There is a large external aspect to the role, supporting a board of high profile, highly experienced investors. Ideally someone who has come through that route and made the transition to a corporate CFO role. Both profiles will be seriously considered, but you must demonstrate experience of running, managing complex transactions (Funding, M&A, IPO etc) within complex businesses. Sector experience is less important than a commercial mindset and transactional skillset and the adaptability to understand new business models quickly. This is a leadership role with a team of circa 25, so you should be confident and capable in leading high performers. This is a high-profile opportunity for an accomplished ex-banker/advisor to make your mark in the corporate world.
