Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

This is a rare opportunity to step into a true CFO role within a fast-scaling, international business undergoing significant growth and transformation. Reporting directly to the CEO and operating as a core member of the executive leadership team, you will play a decisive role in shaping strategy, driving performance, and enabling expansion across multiple geographies and legal entities.

This is a commercial, outward-facing CFO position for a leader who thrives on complexity, pace, and influence. This role requires a hands-on individual rather than someone that has been predominantly focussed on the strategic focus.
