  • Financial Management: Ensure robust financial reporting, forecasting, and compliance across multiple geographies. Provide insightful analysis to guide strategic decision-making.
  • 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.


The Candidate

The ideal candidate will be a highly strategic and commercially astute financial leader with a track record of success in scaling SaaS or technology businesses.


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.
