Having recently completed a management buyout backed by a specialist private equity investor, the business enters its next phase with strong foundations, an ambitious management team and a backer with a clear growth thesis. It is at a genuine inflection point - operationally credible, technically differentiated, and with real runway ahead of it. The Opportunity This is a newly created senior finance role - the first dedicated FD appointment in the business s history - brought about by the MBO and the scale of ambition that comes with it. Reporting directly to the CEO and with full board exposure, the Finance Director Designate will build the finance function, bring commercial rigour to the business and take ownership of everything from day-to-day financial management through to strategic planning, investor reporting and capital allocation. This is a genuine stepping-stone role. For the right person, someone currently operating at Deputy FD or Financial Controller level who is ready for the full seat - the path to FD is clear and intended. Equity participation is on the table, creating real alignment with the value you help create. What You Will Be Responsible For Building and leading the finance function - establishing the team, systems and processes the business needs as it scales under PE ownership. Owning the monthly management accounts, board reporting pack and all financial reporting obligations, ensuring the CEO and investor have the quality of information they need to make good decisions.

Experience of working within or alongside a PE-backed business would be an advantage - familiarity with investor reporting, covenant management and value creation planning is genuinely valued. A natural communicator who can translate financial complexity into clear, confident narratives for a CEO, board and institutional investor audience. A builder by instinct: comfortable setting up processes, selecting systems and developing a team rather than inheriting an established function. The commercial instinct to look beyond the numbers and contribute meaningfully to strategic conversations, not just report on them. Comfortable with ambiguity and energised by a business that is actively evolving. Why This Role The first FD appointment of a PE-backed, technology-led business at a genuine inflection point - a role you shape rather than inherit.
