The successful candidate will be someone who considers all aspects of a business and has a mind-set of continually seeking business opportunities and improvements.

• bring experience of balancing fast, entrepreneurial business growth with disciplined financial cost structures
• be adept in challenging senior management as required

Previous Board experience will be a plus but is not essential.

Board duties of the Finance Board Director will include:

• quarterly meetings plus time spent on normal board duties
• two days per month in the London office to enable the Board member to stay close to the business

We are a fast-moving firm in a dynamic industry sector; this Board role provides a very interesting opportunity to apply experience and exercise creativity in translating the firm’s vision into reality.
