The Agency
My client is looking for a CFO / COO to join their award-winning interdisciplinary creative agency. They're worked hard to create a busy studio based in the heart of the creative district that is a dynamic environment buzzing with creative ideas. They believe in a complete brand experience and thrive on producing unique, bespoke solutions with an immediate and positive impact. Diversity inspires them and they want to bring a contemporary yet playful approach to all their projects within their wide-ranging Global client base. They pride themselves in making ideas become reality.
The opportunity
With steady but lucrative growth they've identified an opportunity for a new team member to join them in a senior role as COO / CFO.
The role is part of the senior leadership team reporting directly into the CCO / Owner and is suited to someone with a proven track record of a leadership role within a similar type of business. You will lead the Finance function of the business, with a direct report Finance manager. You will also lead operations across the agency, with management of commercials, HR, budgeting and performance management. This role is to be the bridge between the project, creative and Finance teams translating financial and project analysis into real life challenges that can be identified and solved.
