This role has been created as a direct result of this growth and offers an exciting chance to join a rapidly expanding business over the next 24 months and beyond.

• Implement a best-in-class finance function, including FP&A, financial reporting, and tax
• Leverage technology to enhance commercial and performance reporting capabilities
• Lead and develop an existing team, with plans to increase team size
• Manage all external banking relationships and lead funding initiatives as the business expands
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and performance reporting activities
• As the business scales, lead strategic growth initiatives such as outsourcing, operational structuring, and team development for scalable growth

This is a new opportunity, offering the chance to create a role for yourself. You should be comfortable with ambiguity and adaptable to a changing landscape as the business evolves.

You need to be enthusiastic and excited about this challenge.

Essential Experience Needed:

• Proven experience as a Finance Director
• Fully qualified accountant with experience in real estate fund management
• Ideally, experience in institutional credit
• Strong leadership and team development skills
