Finance Director – High-Growth Tech-Enabled Scale-Up | Buy & Build Strategy
London (Hybrid)
Are you ready to build a finance function from the ground up in one of Europe’s most exciting scale-ups? We’re looking for a commercially sharp, hands-on Finance Director to join a high-growth, tech-enabled business executing an ambitious buy-and-build strategy.
In just 9 months, this company has scaled from £0 to £20M+ revenue through a series of successful acquisitions—and they’re only just getting started. Backed by a top-tier global investor with £100M+ Series A funding, their M&A pipeline aims to reach over £150M revenue within the next 12 months.
Led by a proven executive team who previously scaled a globally recognized tech-enabled platform, this is a rare opportunity to join a rocketship in its early stages.
The Role
As their first finance hire, you’ll be the cornerstone of their financial operations. You’ll work directly with the founders and leadership team to build a scalable finance function capable of supporting rapid M&A and hypergrowth.
Your key responsibilities will include:
* Owning and delivering the first audit and financial reporting frameworks
* Designing and implementing robust financial controls, systems, and processes from scratch
* Partnering with the CEO on Series B fundraising
* Leading financial due diligence, integration, and post-acquisition planning across all deals
* Creating the infrastructure for FP&A, cash flow, and forecasting
* Acting as a true business partner to the leadership team on strategic growth initiatives
About You
You’re not just a finance professional—you’re a business builder. You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and know how to get things done without a playbook.
You’ll need to have:
* Buy & build / roll-up experience within a high-growth environment
* A strong technical finance background with experience leading audits and implementing financial systems
* Proven ability to support fundraising processes and investor engagement
* Hands-on M&A experience, ideally from origination through to integration
* A startup/scale-up mindset—comfortable getting into the detail, but strategic enough to scale a function rapidly
Why Join?
* Build the finance function from day one—true ownership from the outset
* Work with a world-class leadership team and seasoned investors
* Competitive salary, meaningful equity, and career-defining experience
* Shape the trajectory of one of the most exciting buy-and-build journeys in tech
