Job description

Our client is a high-growth, private equity–backed technology and services platform operating in a large, fragmented, and resilient market undergoing significant digital transformation.

With substantial private equity backing and a clear value-creation roadmap, the business is entering a new phase focused on deeper integration, operational maturity, and accelerated growth—ultimately preparing for a future strategic transaction.

This is a pivotal opportunity for an experienced CFO to partner with the CEO and investors to lead financial strategy, upgrade infrastructure, and drive continued expansion.

• Drive the modernisation of finance systems, workflows, and data architecture.
• Implement automation, standardisation, and operational excellence across finance and adjacent functions.
• Support the transition toward a unified technology and reporting stack as the business consolidates.
• Lead financial due diligence, modelling, valuation analysis, and synergy assessment for ongoing acquisition activity.
• Oversee post‑acquisition integration across finance, systems, reporting, and operational structures.
• Partner with corporate development and the PE sponsor to shape M&A strategy and value‑creation priorities.

Strategic Partner to CEO & Board

• Serve as a key advisor to the CEO on growth strategy, capital allocation, and long‑term planning.
• Communicate financial performance and strategic insights clearly to Board and investor stakeholders.
• Play a central role in the overall value‑creation plan, driving initiatives to enhance margins, efficiency and scale.

Leadership & Talent Development

• Build and develop a high‑performing finance organisation.
• Establish a culture of commercial partnership, discipline, and continuous improvement.
• Influence cross‑functionally to ensure alignment on financial priorities and operational execution.

Experience & Qualifications

Required

• Experience as a CFO or senior finance leader within a private equity‑backed business.
