Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

The Company is in search of a hands-on Group CFO to play a pivotal role in the creation of a market-leading business within a highly fragmented sector. The successful candidate will be instrumental in building the finance infrastructure, establishing group reporting, budgeting, and forecasting processes, and creating consistent financial control standards across the operating companies. This is a unique opportunity to shape the finance organization from the ground up, with a focus on supporting integration and future acquisitions. The role demands a strategic leader with a strong operational background, capable of driving commercial performance, improving cash management, and supporting M&A activities. The ideal Group CFO will have a background as a Group CFO, Finance Director, Divisional CFO, or Finance Transformation leader, with experience in specialist contracting, construction services, technical building services, industrial services, or related sectors. Key responsibilities include leading the integration of the initial platform companies, driving commercial performance through KPI-driven decision-making, and strengthening cash management. The role also involves building and leading a high-performance finance team, with a strong emphasis on stakeholder management and the ability to work closely with investors, boards, and management teams. The candidate should be fluent in German and English, and possess a track record of success in private-equity-backed environments, particularly in the areas of buy-and-build and post-merger integration.
