SF Executive have been retained by a high growth private equity backed manufacturing business near Leeds to recruit a CFO.
The role will sit as the right hand to the Chief Executive Officer and play a fundamental part in leading the derivation, direction, and delivery of company strategy.
You will take an active role in all operational and manufacturing processes, looking at product costings, overhead allocation, and scrap levels, to name but a few. You will also play a significant part in pricing and customer engagement.
Given the ownership structure of the business, there may be some kind of business transaction to manage at some point.
We are looking for a driven Group Financial Controller looking to step up, or a quality Finance Director or Chief Financial Officer. You will have high IQ and EQ but be low ego.
We need someone with manufacturing experience who can navigate shop floor issues just as easily as financial ones. You are probably working in a standalone, family-owned, or investor-backed business at the moment, but we would consider good, upwardly mobile candidates from larger businesses looking for a broader role in an SME. Given the hands-on nature of this role and the ethos of the business, this role will be based largely on-site, with some flexibility around hours and the occasional day from home where essential, but it is not a hybrid role.
Although there is an opportunity to partake in a business exit, this isn't a prerequisite. However, we would be interested in candidates who have led or been involved in this before, whether through a finance or corporate finance role.
Given the expected number of applications, we will only be able to respond to relevant candidates.
