This is a rare opportunity to partner closely with a leading PE fund at the Board level, shaping the foundations of a high‑performing, fast‑growing organisation.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and lead all core finance processes, systems, and controls following the carve‑out
• Develop investor‑grade reporting and insight to support strategic decision‑making
• Oversee budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning during and after the transition
• Support the CEO and investors in shaping growth strategy and value‑creation plans
• Recruit and develop a small, capable finance team aligned to future scale

Candidate Profile

• Fluent Italian and strong English
• Proven track record as a senior finance leader within PE‑backed or high‑growth settings
• Experience in software, technology, or SaaS
• Hands‑on operator comfortable building from the ground up
• Strong communication and credibility with senior management and investors

This is a high‑impact, Board‑visible role offering the chance to build and lead the finance function of a profitable, growth‑oriented software business backed by a top‑tier private equity fund.
