6. lead the execution process 

If you are a CFO who has sold a FinTech business we will need to talk from Tuesday 11th April onwards.
 
The Company

The Opportunity

Supporting and working at board level, the role is far reaching.

Subject to the route that they take, this may well end up as a permanent role with a leaning towards funding.


The Job Remit

You will assume responsibility for handling the full process behind an exit as well as the lead up to. This is about shaping the business to look more attractive to investors and will involve all areas of execution, due diligence, negotiations through to completion.
