Lead and further develop a professional, business-oriented finance function covering FP&A, Controlling and Finance Operations.

Build a consistent group-wide operating model with strong governance, transparency and commercial focus.

Drive financial planning, performance management and data-driven decision-making.

Act as a strategic partner to the CEO and Findos, balancing long-term vision with hands-on execution.

We are looking for an experienced and energetic finance leader with strong analytical and commercial capabilities, ideally coming from international service, healthcare, retail-style or multi-site operations.

You thrive in both strategic and operational contexts and enjoy working close to the business, combining structure, execution power and curiosity.

Key requirements:

At least 10 years of progressive finance experience, including five years in a senior leadership role such as CFO or Finance Director.

Proven ability to lead teams and create alignment between finance, operations and commercial functions across geographies.

A strong understanding of ERP, consolidation and BI/reporting systems, with a genuine interest in digitalisation and automation.

Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to work effectively with executive management, boards and owners.

A master’s-level degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Administration or a related field.

A hands-on and visible leadership style, with the confidence to work close to the details and lead by example in a growing business.

Experience working in a private equity-owned company and supporting acquisitions or post-merger integration would be an advantage.
