Facilities Services | Leicestershire, 3 days/week onsite | Reporting to CEO
We are recruiting for a fast-growing facilities services company that provides a comprehensive range of services to commercial and industrial clients. The business has delivered strong, sustained revenue growth and has ambitious plans to grow further over the next two years through a mix of organic expansion and acquisitions. The company recently received private equity investment- creating this opportunity to step into a pivotal seat on the leadership team.
The Role:
Join the Executive Management Team, working closely with the CEO, COO, CCO and CMO to drive sustained growth. This is a role for a commercially astute CFO who wants to sit close to the P&L and the business.

- Build a best-in-class finance function- reporting, systems, controls, and working capital management
- Drive value through commercial analytics, pricing management and margin improvement
- Act as a trusted advisor to the Executive Team, with a focus on the real drivers and drags of value creation
- Champion efficiency, consistency and collaboration across the business
- Own the HR function, with the HR Director reporting directly to you, covering people strategy, talent and succession planning
- Oversee Facilities Management and Corporate Insurance via third-party brokers
- Champion health, safety, environment and quality standards, with genuine, regular time spent on operational sites alongside frontline teams
You'll bring:
- Proven CFO experience in a PE-backed business- comfortable with investor reporting rhythms, value creation planning, and sponsor pace
- Proven experience supporting international expansion within a scaling or acquisitive business
- A genuine track record across the M&A lifecycle: origination support, due diligence, structuring and integration
- Commercial instinct- comfortable challenging pricing, contract structure and margin drivers
- An entrepreneurial, growth-oriented mindset suited to a founder-led, scaling business, balanced with the discipline to build structure
- Boardroom gravitas paired with a hands-on, visible leadership style
- Experience within a contracts-based value operating model
- Strong technical grounding in working capital, reporting, controls, systems and tax
- A track record of building and motivating high-performing teams
