CFO | High-Growth Business | East Midlands HQ

Backed by recent investment and with exciting ambitions for expansion, this is a rare opportunity to join a successful, founder-led business at a pivotal point in its journey.

You’ll work closely with a driven, entrepreneurial CEO to help steer the next phase of growth — shaping strategy, leading the finance function, and driving performance across the business.

This is a broad, commercial role where you’ll oversee planning and reporting, support strategic decision-making, and help deliver plans to grow revenue and profit over the next 2–3 years. That includes exploring new opportunities, investing in infrastructure and strengthening the customer proposition. You’ll also take ownership of key external relationships including banks, advisors, and professional partners.

They’re looking to meet experienced CFOs (ACA, ACCA, or ACMA) with credibility in a listed environment — someone who understands the dynamics, pace, and rigour of a PLC setting. Prior exposure to investor-backed or founder-led businesses would be a bonus.

Someone equally comfortable building trust with a founder as engaging with external partners.

A background in product-led businesses with operational complexity — stock, supply chain, margin — would be a strong advantage.

This is a full-time, office-based role, best suited to someone currently based in the East Midlands or within a sensible daily commute.

£160,000 to £190,000 + Bonus + LTIP + Benefits
