Chief financial officer

SF Executive have been retained by one of the UK #39;s fastest growing retail groups to find them a commercially minded and consumer savvy Chief Financial Officer based in South Yorkshire. This business has performed excellently post pandemic and is very well positioned to grow its unique offering over the coming years through a combination of organic growth and relevant strategic acquisitions. This organisation is backed by a mid-market Private Equity house and as such has huge ambition and high aspirations for growth, and therefore requires an outstanding finance leader to drive that growth. As CFO and right hand to the CEO, you will lead all financial, management and statutory reporting and also lead in the provision of best in class financial data. Ideally you will have experience as CFO within a standalone retail / leisure / consumer facing business with multiple revenue streams. This business may have been privately owned, private equity backed, or listed - either way you will have managed all external stakeholder and banking relationships, instilling confidence into the providers of these funding mechanisms. Priority will be given to candidates who have led some form of exit process - trade to PE - PE to trade - trade to trade - IPO. All would count in this regard. Outside of the debt and funding piece, you will be a key member of the board driving group strategy so the business continues to scale in a consistent way. A generous package including equity opportunity exists for the successful candidate
