We are retained by a well-established, mid-size manufacturing business to appoint an experienced Chief Financial Officer. This is a confidential search being managed exclusively by STOIX Group.
The business is a specialist manufacturer with a genuinely differentiated product range, serving safety-critical industries where performance and reliability are non‑negotiable. The business operates across multiple international locations with global teams and is part of a well-regarded, financially disciplined group with a strong track record of growth and investment.
The role involves reporting directly to the CEO, holding full P&L accountability for a complex, multi‑entity international business. This is a hands‑on leadership role with genuine board‑level influence, a real integration and growth agenda, and the breadth of scope that a larger group CFO position rarely offers.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Full ownership of group financial performance, reporting and controls
- Multi‑currency P&L management across international operations
- Partnering with the CEO and leadership team on strategy and investment decisions
- Driving financial integration across the group's businesses
- Managing relationships with the parent group and meeting its governance and reporting requirements
The person we are looking for will be an experienced CFO or Group Finance Director with a background in manufacturing, engineering or a closely adjacent sector. You will be comfortable operating within a listed‑group or institutional ownership framework and will have managed multi‑currency, multi‑entity P&L at a comparable scale. ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified. Commutable to London.
This search is being conducted on a confidential basis.
