2 weeks ago

United Kingdom RESTORE Full time

The Opportunity

You are invited to join the fastest-growing nature restoration company in the UK as its leading COMMERCIAL & NATURAL CAPITAL DIRECTOR . Responsible for further scaling RESTORE alongside its founding director, you are highly experienced financial performer, with a proven track record of scaling a business commercially, increasing profitability and viability, and successful natural capital deal-making.

Entrepreneurial and driven, you will see and create new business opportunities across RESTORE’s large land-management portfolio, whilst retaining a CFO capability to ensure the day-to-day financials, targets and overall commercial strategies remain sound and effective. You will rapidly increase short and long-term nat cap revenue streams, delivering for our business and critically, for our landowning clients.

The Company

RESTORE (Restored Land Limited) is a unique, specialist nature restoration service provider to larger farms and estates across the UK. We specialise in long-term, trust-based management contracts with carefully-selected clients, who are passionate about nature recovery on their land. RESTORE services a growing land portfolio of over 70,000 acres and plans to extend its portfolio to 500,000 acres by 2034.

Operating a start-to-end nature restoration service, we deliver vision, blended finance and implementation - alongside publicity and media management - within a single organisation. Our founder and director is a lifelong naturalist and author of the Wainwright Prize-winning "Rebirding", and our team combines a wide array of ecological, natural capital and land management expertise. You can find out more at .

Responsibilities

· Natural capital development, deals & sales. You will not only maintain RESTORE’s existing natural capital products, but proactively structure, create and innovate new natural capital products and natural capital deals. You will be able to help structure, from point of conception to delivery of credit sales, biodiversity net gain deals for landowners – working where needed with an array of third-party partners. You will also push, innovate and develop new natural capital frameworks where appropriate, bringing RESTORE projects to the market in order to expedite their financing. You will seek out developing markets and innovate new deal structures.

· Commercial & financial management. In the capacity of a CFO, you will steer day to day commercial decision making at the business at a senior level, with a high degree of delegated responsibility, reporting only to the founding director and Board. You will create the efficient systems needed to make the company ever-more financially profitable and demonstrate a meticulous, detailed grasp of steering its commercial success, from forecasting & modelling to delivering on pipeline.

· Enhancing financial productivity. Analysing the company both through the numbers and in terms of workflow and cash-flow, you will adroitly identify and proactively help improve areas of commercial productivity across the board, including staffing and staff decision-making, use of company time, ensuring each project remains profitable and viable, and helping steer major company decisions regarding commercial productivity.

· Land-based commercial opportunity creation. Making full use of RESTORE’s portfolio of land, which is based upon long-term, trust-based relations with its clients, you will proactively seek to maximise further commercial opportunities such as ecotourism, commercial lets or corporate events, whilst serving client needs.

· Accessing government finance and funding. You will leverage RESTORE’S large land portfolio and wide array of connections within NGOs and government, to enhance the company’s ability to allow its clients to access government funding streams. You will explore pipelines and other means by which Restore can access government-sector funding, in order to scale its project delivery across farms and estates in the UK.

· Senior management role. As a part of this role, you would be an integral member of the senior management team, dovetailing your insights into other areas of RESTORE, such as its impact/vision, client needs, special projects and land management workflow. In time, you would be expected to manage a growing team on the commercial side, including a land finance agent and other natural capital specialists.

Qualifications

RESTORE is seeking a very senior, proactive and well-motivated partner, to help the company grow and scale over the next 10+ years. You will have excellent interpersonal and business skills, a proven track record of generating major financial growth of a land-based portfolio, and innovative expertise in natural capital that extends beyond knowledge of markets into practical implementation.

You will demonstrate many of the skills of a top-level CFO, whilst having the adaptability, work ethic and team-work abilities of a startup entrepreneur. Your track record of success in commerce and natural capital, proven record of delivery and character in business, is more important to us than prior qualifications.

Remuneration

This is a senior-level director position and salaries will be competitive, however performance will be predominantly evaluated upon financial uplift and therefore a sliding scale bonus-scheme will operate for this role. Further details will be shared to candidates selected for interview.

What comes next?

Following your application via this platform, the senior team will select the top six candidates for a two-stage interview process. The first will be with the founder and director, and two senior partners, and the second with the Board of Company Directors. If successful, you will be notified immediately.

Restore welcomes the very best nature-minds from every sector and background.
