  • Leading the professionalisation and digitalisation of finance, including systems (ERP, BI) and data infrastructure
  • Acting as a key interface to investors, including board reporting, performance tracking, and support on financing or exit processes
  • Building and leading a high-performing finance team and partnering closely with Sales, Product, and Operations

Candidate Profile

  • Proven experience as CFO or senior finance leader in a PE-backed and/or high-growth environment
  • Strong exposure to SaaS or recurring revenue models, with a clear understanding of associated KPIs and commercial drivers
  • Track record of building and scaling finance functions in dynamic, transformation-driven environments
  • Experience in financial planning, performance management, and investor reporting

  • Commercially driven, with the ability to partner effectively with senior stakeholders and investors
  • Resilient, adaptable, and comfortable operating in an evolving, PE-backed environment
