The business has grown significantly tripling in size over the last 4 years, and is on target to hit £250m within the next 3 years — a further doubling in size. The CFO will act as the senior finance leader for the UK business, responsible for the integrity, performance, and strategic direction of the UK finance function, while building the financial infrastructure, controls, and team capability needed to support sustained high growth.
