Mark Sattin Executive Search Opportunity
Mark Sattin Executive Search is working with a recently PE-backed Infrastructure business operating within a resilient and growing sector. The business has a strong platform from which to build and is entering an important period of transformation and development. The opportunity is for a Chief Financial Officer to work alongside the CEO and PE investors in shaping and delivering the next phase of the business, with a clear focus on transformation, performance improvement, and value creation.
Role Overview

Working alongside the CEO and leadership team, the CFO will help translate the strategic agenda into clear priorities, plans, and measurable outcomes.

The role will also oversee cash generation, working capital, investment decisions, and financial risk as the business progresses through its transformation.
