Job Details

Our client is a fast growing PE-backed pharma services business, at a critical stage in its lifecycle. The CEO is looking to hire a Finance Director to partner her driving the business forward and to put in place robust systems, processes and controls to support operational and financial management to allow for rapid growth as the business scales-up.  The role is both hands on/operational and strategic/forward looking.  The Finance Director will be responsible for optimising the financial performance and strategic positioning of the business.  This role will be a business partner to the CEO, taking on responsibility for back office functions as well as supporting all commercial decision making. 

Key responsibilities:

  • Work closely and collaboratively with the SMT and business owners/investors.
  • Contribute fully to the development of company strategy across all areas of the business, challenging assumptions and decision making as appropriate, and providing financial analysis and guidance on all activities, targets and KPI’s.
  • Perform the day to day accounting for the business, with a particular emphasis on month end invoicing and reconciliation.
  • Establish suitable reporting for PE investors.
  • Manage strong working relationships with banks, investors and other stakeholders.
  • Oversee the HR, legal/contracting process and Compliance functions.
  • Work with the CEO on completion of tenders, Requests for Proposals and similar.

This is an exciting time to join this business and the role will suit a robust, confident and independent finance professional who relishes a fast paced and hands on environment whilst also enjoying being at the helm of a business and helping create value for all stakeholders. The role requires an individual with energy, passion and drive who will quickly establish credibility within the business.  The role might suit a first time FD as long as the individual can demonstrate suitable leadership potential and intellectual ability. The role would also suit somebody from any type of agency background. Part time hours may also be considered.

 

We are committed to encouraging and celebrating applicants from different backgrounds, whatever their gender, ethnicity, race, religious and political beliefs, education, socioeconomic background, disability, sexual orientation and geographical location to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Company

Established for over 13 years it is a leader in its field, providing expert advice and guidance to its client base of CEOs, Chairmen and Investors, looking to recruit a new finance director or chief financial officer.

The businesses we work with cross size, sector and location but are united in their requirement for a broadly skilled, commercially astute, stand alone finance director to act as the right hand man or woman to a CEO who is hungry to build value.

Our approach to our candidates is predicated upon building a long term relationship to last the length of their career. We look to work with only truly entrepreneurial FDs and CFOs who have stepped outside of the more traditional finance career mindset and who have a keen appetite for 
a risk/reward culture.
