About the role:
The current CFO is stepping down next year and the business is looking to appoint a senior finance professional with a dynamic, energetic and ambitious approach. The CFO is responsible for leading the Finance function and will play a key part in supporting the CEO in delivering commercial success. In addition, the CFO will be Company Secretary for the Company. A Board appointment of a FTSE AIM listed entity, this represents an attractive opportunity for an exceptional candidate to join an established business to help lead the turnaround in financial performance.
About the individual:
This role will suit a highly motivated senior finance professional; someone who is a self-starter, driven by the growth and the challenge that this role presents. The successful candidate will be someone who commands respect and can operate effectively across all levels of the business. They will also be able to influence at all levels, both internally and externally and work with a high degree of autonomy, multitasking and offering both support and challenge in equal measures.
While the technical expertise required to ensure success is incredibly important, the position also demands a CFO who is hugely capable and energetic, and embraces innovation in a fast-paced, high-growth environment. It is preferable that the individual will have experience in and understanding of a family business environment.
Benefits
An attractive financial package commensurate with the background and experience required for the role is on offer.
