Exceptional leadership, communication, and work ethic are key to cultivating a fast-paced culture that is driven by growth and profitability, while also fostering robust relationships with the board, PE firm, and debt providers. An ambitious finance professional will find this an exciting opportunity to lead the commercial finance function in this private equity-backed business, unlocking its growth potential.
