Finance Director – EMEA | About the Role

The business has scaled rapidly across EMEA, and finance now needs to evolve from a strong operational base into a more forward‑looking, insight‑driven function. Most Finance Director roles are focused on maintenance. This one is different; fix, shape, and elevate.

You will lead finance across EMEA, partnering closely with regional and global leadership to bring clarity and control to a complex, multi‑entity, project‑driven environment. Your focus will include:

  • Leading planning, forecasting, and performance analysis that drives real business decisions
  • Improving visibility, reporting quality, and financial control across the region
  • Playing a key role in an ongoing ERP implementation, ensuring successful integration and adoption
  • Building a high‑performing finance function aligned to the next phase of growth

This is a role where your impact will be visible and quick.

The successful Finance Director – EMEA will bring:

You've operated in complex environments and understand what "good" looks like at scale.

You'll likely have experience:

  • Working within a multi‑entity or multinational business
  • Operating in private equity‑backed or transformation‑led settings
  • Supporting project‑based businesses, including exposure to POC accounting
  • Driving improvements in cash flow and working capital

You've also played a key role in improving finance functions, whether through:

  • Implementing or enhancing ERP or finance systems
  • Driving automation, standardisation, and better reporting
  • Strengthening controls and navigating complex audit environments

Just as importantly, you're a strong leader that is comfortable managing teams across regions and time zones, and able to build consistency without losing local effectiveness.
