2. Provide expertise throughout future M&A processes, guiding due diligence and post-acquisition integration.
3. Install clarity and stability during periods of change and uncertainty, driving conformity and coalescence across the group.
4. Partner with the CEO and senior leadership to align financial insights with strategic decision-making.

Minimum Requirements:

• Proven track record as a CFO or senior financial leader, ideally within manufacturing or private equity-backed businesses.
• Experience in mergers, acquisitions, and post-acquisition integration.
• Expertise in implementing financial structures that deliver clarity and precision.
• A hands-on, results-driven approach with the ability to lead rapid change and improvement.
