CFO – High Growth Corporate recruitment

This business is already a dominant player in the domestic market and is looking to leverage their success internationally. At the heart of the firm’s growth is a sophisticated, scalable digital media platform which the company will continue to leverage successfully through partnerships and commercial alliances. The business is currently growing at over 70% year on year so a key challenge for the management team is to control this growth in a measured way and to harness the success they have already achieved. With this aim in mind, the board has decided to recruit a talented CFO to join the leadership group.

The role will have oversight of all aspects of Finance for the firm, including financial accounting / reporting, tax, planning and budgeting and management information. You will be supported by an existing accountant who is responsible for the day to accounting activities, allowing you to focus on strategic and commercial development.

You will work closely with the CEO and COO on identification and execution of MA transactions, including the research and strategic intent behind potential targets. You will also be asked to contribute across the board in commercial activities such as providing analytics and optimization ideas around the digital platform, negotiations of contracts or deals with alliance partners. The role also carries responsibility for treasury including debt funding and managing relationships with financial institutions.

The role will suit a financial executive looking for a very broad and challenging role. To be successful you will be highly committed individual with a flexible, positive mindset and a willingness to take on challenges outside your current experience set. Exposure in a fast growing environment (ideally digital media) is preferred as you will have to deal with ambiguity and imperfect information. You will have strong analytical abilities, communication skills and a desire to grow your knowledge and skills.
