- Proven CFO or senior Finance Director experience within a SaaS or subscription-based business
- Prior experience in a PE-backed environment is essential — comfortable with investor reporting, covenant management, and value-creation agendas
- Deep understanding of SaaS metrics and unit economics, and how they translate into strategic decision-making
- Strong commercial acumen with a track record of supporting scale-up growth
- A hands-on operator who's equally comfortable in the detail and at Board level
