The Opportunity

We are supporting a scaling, founder-led SaaS business in the search for a Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

The company is self-funded and operating at a Series A-equivalent stage, with strong product-market traction, a growing recurring revenue base, and a clear opportunity to scale. Having successfully established itself through a primarily B2C-led motion, the business is now entering its next phase of growth, focused on expanding into a more structured B2B and enterprise SaaS model.

This is a pivotal executive leadership appointment, reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with the leadership team to build a world-class financial function, strengthen commercial decision-making, and create the foundations required for sustainable, scalable growth.

The Role

As Chief Financial Officer, you will:

Define and execute the company’s financial strategy to support ambitious SaaS growth plans
Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team, providing commercial insight and financial leadership across the business
Build and scale the finance function from a founder-led environment into a robust, data-driven, enterprise-ready operation
Own financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, reporting, and performance management
Develop financial models and insights to support strategic decisions, investment priorities, and growth initiatives
Establish scalable finance processes, systems, controls, and reporting infrastructure
Own SaaS financial metrics and business performance analysis, including ARR, MRR, gross margin, CAC, LTV, churn, retention, and expansion revenue
Partner closely with Commercial, Product, and Operations teams to optimise growth, profitability, and customer economics
Lead fundraising readiness, investor reporting, and board-level financial communication as the business scales
Drive financial discipline across the organisation through clear KPIs, dashboards, and operating rhythms
Support organisational scaling, including hiring plans, resource allocation, and strategic investments
Build and lead a high-performing finance team capable of supporting the next stage of company growth

About You

We’re looking for a commercially minded finance leader who can combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, bringing rigour, insight, and operational maturity to a high-growth SaaS environment.

You are likely to have:

8+ years’ experience in finance leadership roles, including experience operating at senior executive level
A track record of scaling finance functions within SaaS, subscription, technology, or recurring revenue businesses
Experience supporting a company through significant growth, transformation, fundraising, or scaling phases
Strong understanding of SaaS business models and key metrics, including ARR, MRR, retention, churn, gross margin, CAC, and LTV
Experience building financial infrastructure, forecasting models, reporting frameworks, and operational controls
Strong commercial acumen with the ability to translate financial data into actionable business decisions
Experience partnering closely with founders, CEOs, investors, and boards
