Job description

SF Executive is working with a private equity-backed media services business based in Manchester. The company has a turnover of around £10M and is experiencing rapid growth while maintaining healthy profits.

We are seeking a confident, communicative, and resilient CFO who has prior experience in a standalone role and ideally has led an exit transaction for investors or private shareholders. Given that the business is less than 10 years old and of a smaller size, the successful candidate should be comfortable leading strategy, engaging in potential M&A activities, working with the board of directors, and managing a small finance team while also handling critical day-to-day finance tasks.

The organization is modern and forward-thinking. Most of the team work in the field daily but are fully engaged in growing and developing the business. The role is likely based in Manchester or within reasonable commuting distance, with an expectation of being in the office three days a week.

This is a significant role within a dynamic organization, offering continual challenges and opportunities for fun and growth. A competitive package and a substantial equity stake will be offered to the successful candidate.

If you have a proven track record of success in private equity-backed companies, we would like to hear from you.
