- Investor Relations: Act as a trusted partner to the private equity investors, managing stakeholder communication and reporting with a focus on value creation.
- Operational Excellence: Build and optimise finance processes, systems, and controls to support the complexity of a scaling, international SaaS business.
- Leadership: Inspire and develop a high-performing finance team, fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.

Key requirements include:
- Proven CFO or senior finance leadership experience in a Private Equity or growth-focused environment.
- Strong background in SaaS/technology, with a deep understanding of SaaS metrics and dynamics.
- Experience driving acquisitive growth, including financial due diligence, integration, and value realisation.
- Expertise in international expansion, ideally including experience in the Americas.
