The Group is opening an opportunity for an accomplished Chief Financial Officer to drive excellence across all financial functions and support our long-term business strategy.

Key Focus and Responsibilities:

Strategic Leadership:

• Develop and execute the company’s financial strategy in alignment with overall business objectives and growth plans.

Financial Operations & Controls:

• Oversee all day-to-day financial operations, including accounting, treasury, cash flow, tax, and reporting functions.

• Establish and maintain robust internal controls and ensure compliance with applicable financial regulations and standards.

• Restructure and optimize the finance function to improve accuracy, transparency, and efficiency.

Cash Flow & Capital Management:

• Ensure highly effective cash flow management with a focus on flexibility and responsiveness, particularly given the company’s reliance on national and private health insurance systems.

• Manage relationships with banks, auditors, and external stakeholders to support liquidity and capital needs.

• Support fundraising, investment, and PE reporting efforts when required.

Business Partnering & Cross-Functional Support:

• Collaborate closely with other departments (e.g., operations, commercial, HR, IT) to ensure financial alignment and support strategic initiatives.

• Provide financial leadership in cross-functional projects, including pricing, cost optimization, and margin improvement.

Team Leadership & Development:

• Inspire, manage, and develop the existing finance team, ensuring high levels of engagement, performance, and accountability.

• Promote a culture of ownership, continuous improvement, and operational excellence within the finance function.

• Organise the team efficiently and implement rotations and training to enhance skills.

• In-depth understanding of cost-based financing models

• Solid cash flow management experience with a proactive and solutions-oriented approach

• Someone who can thrive in a PE environment, rather than a traditional finance professional accustomed to highly structured multinational corporations.

• A proactive and motivational leader who can guide a capable team through change, process enhancement and implementation of a sound financial structure.

• A collaborative team player who works effectively across departments.

• Communicative, outgoing, bold, and ambitious.

• Resilient and unfazed by initial disorganization, capable of bringing clarity and structure amidst complexity.

• Relevant professional qualifications such as ACCA, CFA or CPA are a plus.
