The CFO will play a critical role in helping the organization move to its next phase of growth, working closely with the founders and taking ownership beyond traditional finance.

We are looking for:

• CA, with an MBA (Finance) or equivalent qualification
• 18 – 25 years of progressive leadership experience
• Strong experience as a CFO / Finance Leader in a services / professional services organization
• Experience in engineering consultancy, AEC, EPC, infrastructure or similar businesses would be highly relevant; services sector experience a must.

• Strong understanding of profitability, pricing, forecasting, working capital and business performance
• High level of integrity and commercial acumen
• Someone comfortable working in a mid-sized, founder-led organization
• A hands-on, strategic leader who can build systems while remaining close to the business

The CFO will report directly to the Co-Founder and will work closely with the senior leadership team.
