The Opportunity
Finatal is partnering with a rapidly scaling, private equity-backed consumer platform operating across the UK and Europe. The business has created a market-leading subscription model that provides customers with affordable access to premium physical products through a flexible membership offering.
Combining technology, logistics, and refurbishment capability, the company has built a highly differentiated circular economy platform that extends asset lifecycles, improves accessibility for consumers, and delivers meaningful environmental impact. The business serves tens of thousands of customers, operates internationally, and is entering an exciting phase of growth as it executes its next strategic chapter.
With strong investor backing, a proven model, and significant market opportunity ahead, the business is now seeking an outstanding CFO to help drive scale, optimise capital efficiency, and prepare the company for a future exit event.

The Role
As Chief Financial Officer, you will be a key member of the Executive Leadership Team and a trusted strategic partner to the CEO, Board, and shareholders.
The role extends beyond finance and will encompass governance, legal, compliance, people, and corporate administration. You will be responsible for ensuring the organisation has the financial discipline, controls, and infrastructure required to support continued international expansion while maximising shareholder value.
A critical aspect of the position will be supporting the execution of the company's three-year strategic plan and helping prepare the business for a successful liquidity event. The successful candidate will bring prior experience from high-growth, investor-backed environments and will have played a significant role in delivering an exit, recapitalisation, or other major shareholder value event.
