We’re partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed SaaS and data business entering an exciting phase of international expansion. Backed by a leading mid-market PE fund since 2022, the company is scaling rapidly through platform innovation, strategic acquisitions, and new market entry.
As Global Commercial Finance Director, you’ll join the senior leadership team and be a key strategic partner to the CEO, CFO, and investors. You'll play a critical role in shaping financial strategy, enhancing commercial performance, and supporting long-term value creation. A highly competitive salary and equity package is available for the right candidate.
Why Join?
* Influence the commercial direction of a scaling SaaS/data business with global ambition
* Partner directly with senior leadership and PE sponsors on key value creation initiatives
* Join a business with strong product-market fit, high customer retention, and recurring revenue growth
* Share in long-term upside through a meaningful equity package
Key Responsibilities
* Own commercial finance strategy, planning, and performance insight across products, regions, and customer segments
* Drive SaaS metrics insight – including ARR, churn, LTV/CAC, NRR – and support data-led growth decisions
* Lead budgeting, forecasting, and long-range planning processes to inform strategic direction
* Build robust financial models to evaluate market expansion, pricing strategy, and product roadmap impact
* Deliver clear, actionable reporting and board-level analysis to internal stakeholders and PE investors
* Implement improved reporting systems, BI tools (e.g. Power BI), and scalable finance infrastructure
* Build and lead a high-performing commercial finance and FP&A team to support scale
* Support exit readiness by preparing investor materials, refining KPIs, and strengthening finance processes for due diligence and future transaction events
* Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with a background in commercial finance, transaction services, or FP&A
* Strong experience in SaaS, tech, or data businesses, or a business with a subscription-based model and recurring revenue focus
* Proven success in PE-backed environments, partnering closely with C-suite and investors
Nice to have:
* Advanced modelling and commercial analytics capability, including pricing and ROI analysis
* Exposure to M&A, post-deal integration, and preparing a business for exit is highly desirable
* A hands-on, high-impact leader who thrives in dynamic, high-growth settings
This is a standout opportunity to shape the commercial and financial performance of a fast-growing business. If you bring strong commercial acumen, private equity experience, and a passion for driving value, we’d love to hear from you.
