At Ventrica, we do things differently. We combine commercial thinking with delivering brilliant customer experiences for some of the world’s most exciting brands. As we continue our growth journey, we’re looking for a CFO who wants to play a meaningful role in shaping the future of the business — not from the sidelines, but right at the centre of it.
This is a true executive leadership role with Board exposure and influence, but we’re equally looking for someone practical, commercially sharp and happy to roll their sleeves up when needed. You’ll be as comfortable leading conversations around growth, investment and future transactions as you are improving processes, supporting the team and making sure the numbers stack up. You'll be passionate, trustworthy and bold in the decisions you make.
We’re open-minded on structure and can consider this role on a part-time basis (minimum 3 days per week) for the right person.
What you’ll be doing
- Partnering closely with the CEO to shape the financial and commercial direction of the business
- Leading long-term financial strategy, planning and performance across the organisation
- Providing commercially grounded insight to support decision-making, growth and profitability
- Owning budgeting, forecasting, cashflow management and consolidated reporting
- Ensuring strong financial governance, compliance and risk management frameworks
- Supporting future investment, acquisition or transaction activity where appropriate
- Developing commercial finance models, pricing structures and margin analysis to support scalable growth
- Driving operational efficiency across finance processes, systems and ways of working
- Leading audits, statutory reporting and multi-entity financial management
- Building, mentoring and developing a high-performing finance team
- Bringing clarity, challenge and confidence into executive-level conversations
What we’re looking for
We’re less focused on finding a “traditional” CFO profile and more interested in someone who combines strategic capability with a pragmatic, people-focused approach.
You’ll likely bring:
- Significant senior finance leadership experience within a growing, commercial organisation
- A professional accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)
- Experience operating at Board or executive leadership level
- Strong commercial acumen with the ability to influence strategic business decisions
- A hands-on leadership style with the credibility to move between strategy and execution
- Experience managing audits, statutory reporting and consolidated accounts
- Strong cashflow forecasting and financial planning expertise
- Exposure to offshoring
- Experience supporting or leading investment processes, acquisition or exit would be highly advantageous
- The confidence to challenge constructively, simplify complexity and drive action
- A collaborative leadership style that builds trust and brings people with you
We’d particularly like to hear from candidates who have worked in ambitious, fast-paced businesses and have experience helping organisations through periods of growth, investment or change.
