About Fibeo

Fibeo is a new Scottish broadband provider preparing for launch in Autumn 2026 with a deliberately disciplined and governance-led approach to how broadband businesses are built and operated. While much of the industry prioritises short-term outcomes and financial engineering, Fibeo is being designed around operational resilience, scalable architecture and long-term customer value creation.

This is an early-stage business, but it is being built properly from day one. The foundations being established now are intended to support a nationally scalable broadband provider with strong governance, long-term ambition and the customer placed firmly at the centre of the business.

The Role

We are seeking a commercially rigorous Chief Financial Officer to work alongside the CEO and Board in shaping Fibeo’s financial strategy, capital planning and governance framework from pre-launch through scale.

This is a formative executive appointment. The CFO will play a central role in modelling, validating and implementing the company’s capital structure, funding strategy and long-term financial architecture, ensuring disciplined capital allocation, regulatory compliance and robust reporting aligned with Fibeo’s customer-ownership model.

The role requires structural thinking, meticulous attention to detail and confidence operating at executive and board level.

Core Responsibilities

• Work with the CEO and Board to design, model and implement Fibeo’s equity structure and funding strategy

• Develop and maintain detailed financial models covering dilution, fundraising scenarios, forecasting, runway and long-term sustainability

• Lead SEIS/EIS planning, execution and compliance (or coordinate with specialist advisers)

• Establish disciplined budgeting, cost control and capital allocation frameworks

• Prepare structured board-level financial reporting covering performance, liquidity, risk and capital position

• Oversee statutory reporting, Companies House requirements and financial governance

• Support financial oversight of any customer ownership trust structure in conjunction with legal advisers

• Manage relationships with accountants, tax advisers, corporate finance advisers and investors

• Embed strong internal controls and reporting standards from inception

This role is strategic and structural rather than transactional.

Who We Are Looking For

• Previous senior finance leadership experience within a telecommunications, ISP or fibre environment (essential)

• Strong working knowledge of SEIS/EIS, ideally with direct execution experience

• Ideally familiarity with trust structures or alternative ownership models

• Demonstrable ability to build complex financial models from first principles

• Meticulous attention to detail with a strong governance mindset

• Experience supporting boards with structured financial reporting

• Commercially disciplined and comfortable operating at executive level

• Comfortable operating in an early-stage, equity-led environment prior to full cash remuneration

Important: This role requires prior telecommunications or ISP sector experience at senior finance level. Applications that do not clearly demonstrate relevant sector experience will not be reviewed.

The Package

• Meaningful founding-stage equity participation from the outset

• Executive-level influence over long-term financial direction

• Structured transition to cash remuneration as the business scales

• The opportunity to build a nationally scalable Scottish ISP from first principles under an industry-first ownership model

Please note: This is not a traditional salaried CFO role at inception. It is intended for a senior and established telecommunications finance leader motivated by ownership, accountability and long-term value creation.

We have ambitious plans for market entry and scale-up. We will therefore be prioritising candidates who can start by 14 April 2026. Interviews will take place w/c 23 March 2026 and will involve an initial informal 30-minute conversation with the Chief Executive. We don’t like unnecessary bureaucracy, so shortlisted applicants will then proceed to formal interview with our Chairman as next and final stage.
