Group Chief Financial Officer
Location: London/Hybrid
Build. Scale. Exit. Get Paid Accordingly.
This is not a standard CFO role. This is a rare opportunity to join a rapidly scaling, venture-backed software company at an inflection point — and play a central role in driving it to a high-value exit.
If you have already been through a successful exit in a technology business and are looking to do it again, this role is designed for you.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
- Explosive Growth: Launched in early 2025, already at £5m+ ARR and forecasting ~£28m ARR by end of 2026
- Global Footprint: Active in 14 countries with continued international expansion
- Strong Backing: Supported by well-established VC firms with a strong track record
- Product Momentum: Core AI platform plus additional highly disruptive products in development
- Clear Exit Path: Strategic focus on scaling toward a liquidity event
The Upside
The equity component is not a token gesture — it is structured to deliver meaningful wealth creation on exit. The successful candidate will be instrumental in shaping that outcome and will participate accordingly.
The Mandate
As Group CFO, you will operate as the CEO’s closest strategic partner, with a clear remit:
Scale the business aggressively, raise capital effectively, and deliver a successful exit.
You will:
- Lead all fundraising activities (venture, growth, and beyond)
- Own the financial strategy of a high-growth SaaS business
- Act as the primary interface with investors and the Board
- Build and professionalise a global finance function
- Drive commercial decision-making, including pricing and deal structuring
- Ensure the business is exit-ready (financially, operationally, and strategically)
What You Bring (Non-Negotiable)
- Proven CFO / senior finance leadership experience in a technology or SaaS business
- Direct experience of a successful exit (trade sale or PE-backed exit)
- Strong track record in fundraising and investor management
- Deep understanding of SaaS metrics, unit economics, and scaling challenges
- Exceptional financial modelling and strategic thinking capability
- Ability to operate at both board level and in execution detail
This role requires someone who has seen the full lifecycle before — and knows exactly what “good” looks like at each stage.
Your Impact
- Shape the financial and strategic direction of a global AI business
- Play a decisive role in delivering a high-value liquidity event
- Build a finance function that scales with the business
- Directly influence valuation, investor confidence, and exit outcomes
Compensation
- Base Salary: £200k
- Performance based bonus
- Equity: Significant — designed to deliver substantial financial upside on exit
- Additional benefits negotiable
Final Word
This is a career-defining role for a CFO who wants more than stewardship — it’s for someone who wants to build, scale, and realise value at the highest level. If you’ve successfully exited once and are ready to do it again — this time with greater influence and financial upside — we want to hear from you.
