Otto James Consulting has been engaged in a Search and Selection Process for a new Group Financial Controller position at the head of an exciting, dynamic, expanding and fresh Tech Organisation.
Our partner relocated to Cheshire in 2021 and has quickly achieved the market growth they had forecast.

The HealthTech market is wide open to growth, and our client is looking to use their expertise in this market and add to the foothold they have already achieved in this arena. This role is integral to the board's growth plans, and the landscape for H1 2025 will sit firmly in the blueprint of this role.
