The business has recently brought in fresh institutional capital to accelerate product innovation, go-to-market expansion and strategic initiatives. The VP Finance will report to the CFO and own the financial modelling and planning engine behind the next phase of growth. They will scale a complex, international finance function, with direct visibility to the Board and investment team.

• Lead and develop a high-performing finance team across multiple geographies.

Ideal Candidate

• VP Finance, Finance Director or Senior Controller with PE-backed experience.
