Job description

Our client is a high-growth Healthcare business, operating across two closely connected entities. The group is entering a pivotal stage of growth and professionalisation. Finance is central to this next chapter, and the business is seeking a resilient, hands-on Finance Director to build structure, restore confidence, and create a scalable finance platform capable of supporting ambitious expansion plans.

This is a transformational leadership role, suited to a Finance Director who thrives in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments and enjoys building order from complexity.

The Role

The Finance Director will take full ownership of the finance function across the group. The remit is broad and hands-on, with responsibility for designing, building, and leading a modern finance operation from the ground up.

The role includes leadership of a 20-person offshore finance team, requiring strong remote management capability, cultural awareness, and the ability to drive performance at scale.

This position suits an individual comfortable operating under pressure, making decisive interventions, and acting as a stabilising force within a growing organisation.

Key Responsibilities

Finance Function Transformation

  • Build and professionalise the finance function across the group
  • Design and implement robust financial controls, policies, SOPs, and process maps
  • Establish clear governance, accountability, and reporting standards

Leadership & Offshore Team Management

  • Lead and develop a 20-person offshore finance team, setting clear expectations and performance standards
  • Implement effective reporting rhythms, controls, and communication structures
  • Travel periodically to support team alignment, development, and oversight

Operational & Commercial Finance

  • Own financial reporting, management accounts, cashflow forecasting, and P&L oversight
  • Partner closely with senior leadership to provide clear financial insight and visibility
  • Support strategic decision-making with commercial analysis and scenario planning

Legacy Issues & Stakeholder Management

  • Address and resolve challenges with legacy clients and stakeholders, arising from historical under-management
  • Rebuild trust through improved processes, clarity, and communication
  • Act as a senior point of contact in complex or sensitive financial discussions
  • Prepare and organise financial data into investment-grade due diligence packs
  • Ensure the business is audit-ready and capable of withstand­ing external scrutiny
  • Strengthen risk management and compliance frameworks as the business scales

Ways of Working

  • Operate effectively within a startup / scale-up culture, where priorities evolve quickly
  • Demonstrate flexibility around working hours during periods of growth or transformation
  • Lead with pragmatism, resilience, and accountability

Candidate Profile

  • Proven experience building or transforming finance functions, ideally in growth or turnaround environments
  • Strong experience managing remote or offshore finance teams
  • High levels of resilience and emotional toughness
  • Excellent communication skills, particularly in challenging stakeholder or client situations
  • Hands‑on experience creating policies, SOPs, and scalable finance processes
  • Commercially minded, with the ability to balance rigour with pragmatism
  • Comfortable operating across both strategic and operational detail
