About the Role

We are seeking a strategic finance leader to help shape the next phase of growth at IQGeo. Partnering directly with the CFO, CEO and Executive Leadership Team, you will influence investment decisions, drive performance across the business and play a key role in delivering a value creation plan backed by KKR, one of the world's leading investment firms.

As the leader of Strategic Finance & FP&A, you will own the company's planning, forecasting, performance management and business partnering capabilities. You will provide the insight, challenge and strategic thinking that helps shape key business decisions, investment priorities and growth initiatives.

You will:

• Lead the company's budgeting, forecasting and long‑range planning processes.
• Partner with the Executive Leadership Team to drive performance and improve decision‑making.

You may currently be a Director of FP&A, Head of Strategic Finance, Senior Finance Business Partner, Corporate Finance Director or a high‑performing finance leader ready to step into a broader strategic leadership role.

You will likely bring:

• Significant experience in FP&A, strategic finance, commercial finance or corporate finance.
• Experience partnering with senior executives and business leaders.
• Strong financial modelling, planning and analytical skills.
• Experience within a private equity‑backed or high‑growth environment is highly desirable, although not essential.
• A track record of supporting strategic decision‑making and business performance improvement.
• Experience in software, SaaS, technology or other high‑growth environments.
• The ability to operate effectively in a fast‑paced, results‑oriented organisation.
• A collaborative leadership style and a passion for developing talent.
