Job description

We're partnering with a fast-growing social media company that's redefining digital engagement - and gearing up to double in size over the next two years.

As Chief Financial Officer, you'll play a central role in driving this next phase of growth. Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll lead Finance, Data, HR, and Legal, ensuring the business scales efficiently while maintaining its innovative and entrepreneurial culture.

This is not your typical finance role - it's a strategic, hands-on position at the heart of a creative and fast-paced business where decisions are made quickly and impact is immediate.

What you'll do

• Lead and evolve the Finance function to support rapid growth and international expansion.
• Partner with the CEO and leadership team on commercial strategy, fundraising, and M&A opportunities.
• Oversee key operational areas including Data, HR, and Legal, ensuring alignment with the company's growth ambitions.
• Drive insight-led decision making - leveraging data to inform strategy, improve performance, and identify new opportunities.
• Build and mentor a high-performing team across finance and operations.

What we're looking for

• A highly commercial CFO (or Finance Director stepping up) with experience in a high-growth or digital-led business.
• Proven ability to thrive in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments.
• Strong grasp of data-driven decision making and business performance metrics.
• Strategic thinker who's equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves.
• Experience scaling teams and implementing structure without stifling creativity.

You’ll be joining a company with genuine momentum, a talented leadership team, and the ambition to become a category leader in social media. This is an opportunity to help shape the business at a pivotal moment - driving strategy, growth, and long-term value creation.
