Finatal is partnering with a leading private equity-backed healthcare business poised for a significant value realisation event. With revenues of £300m and the support of a top-tier upper mid-market fund, the business is preparing for a transformational liquidity event—either an IPO or strategic sale, following a complex carve-out. To drive this process, the company is seeking an experienced Project Finance Director to lead on financial separation, readiness, and execution planning.

Role Overview:

Reporting to the CFO and working closely with the private equity investors and external advisors, the Project Finance Director will take end-to-end ownership of the financial workstreams related to the carve-out and transaction process. You will act as a key liaison between finance, legal, operations, and external stakeholders, ensuring readiness for the chosen exit route while maintaining strong financial integrity and governance throughout the project lifecycle.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading the financial carve-out process, ensuring clear separation of assets, liabilities, and reporting structures.
• Preparing the business for IPO or trade sale, including supporting VDD (vendor due diligence), financial factbooks, and investor presentations.
• Acting as the key finance lead with external advisors including bankers, legal counsel, and auditors.
• Establishing clean standalone financials and ensuring accuracy and defensibility of reporting.
• Supporting the CFO with scenario modelling, equity story development, and transaction structuring.
• Overseeing project timelines, risk registers, and critical path delivery across all finance-related exit activities.
• Ensuring compliance with relevant listing or buyer due diligence requirements.
• Partnering across business functions to ensure operational readiness and execution alignment.

Qualifications and Experience:

• A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, or equivalent) with significant experience in transaction finance.
• Demonstrated track record of leading IPO or M&A processes, ideally in a carve-out context.
• Experience in the healthcare sector, particularly multi-site or regulated environments, is highly advantageous.
• Strong understanding of private equity value creation and exit strategies.
• Ability to manage multiple external stakeholders and advisors under tight deadlines.
• A highly analytical and commercial mindset, with excellent attention to detail and financial rigour.
• A proactive, project-oriented approach with the ability to influence at board level.
