Finance Director EMEA About the Role
This 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 have 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.
