Finance Director

Join our fast-growing company as a Finance Director. You will own the finance function end to end, lead capital raising efforts, fund new business lines, manage capital allocation, develop the FP&A engine, own KPIs and business insight, and support investor relations and board reporting. You should have capital markets and corporate development experience, be fluent in venture and growth equity, have high-growth company experience, and be genuinely interested in energy.

Missions

• Assumer la responsabilité de la fonction financière de l'entreprise, y compris le contrôle financier, la reporting, l'audit, la fiscalité, la trésorerie et la banque.
• Diriger le processus de levée de capitaux, en soutenant les processus de dette et d'équité de bout en bout, et en entretenant les relations avec les prêteurs, les fonds et les investisseurs.
• Développer le moteur de la planification financière et de l'analyse (FP&A), en faisant évoluer le modèle derrière l'entreprise, y compris les budgets départementaux et les indicateurs clés de performance.

Profil recherché

• Capital markets and corporate development experience: you've raised or invested real money. That might be banking (DCM, leveraged or structured finance), investing, or a corporate development, corporate strategy or strategic finance seat where you've run raises, facilities or M&A. You can run the process (with Founder support) and lead on pricing, structuring, covenants and negotiation with investors/banks
• Fluent in venture and growth equity: you're plugged into that market, you know the comps, how growth investors value businesses like ours, and what a credible narrative looks like to them. The difference between good and exceptional here is whether you can shape that narrative alongside the founders, rather than needing us to craft it for you
• A strategic finance operator aiming at CFO: you have an edge in FP&A, long-range planning, capital allocation and KPI design, and you've been the person the CEO turns to on where the next pound goes. Control and compliance may not be where your edge is, but you want to be accountable for them and you know what good looks like. You're already thinking about what you'd need to learn to be a credible CFO of a business several times our size
• High-growth company experience: you've built at pace at an early or growth-stage company (roughly Series A to Series C), you've chosen that kind of environment before, and you know that processes here need to evolve every month, not every year
• Genuinely interested in energy: you don't need to be an energy expert, and few people will be, but you should be curious about where the transition is going and have a view on it
• Exceptional modeller, and close to the detail: you build models other people can use and stakeholders can be given access to, and you rebuild without ego when the business changes. At our stage the person owning the strategy also builds the model, writes the board slide and verifies the numbers
• A leader and a bar-raiser: you'll take on an existing team and hire selectively as we scale. You might already lead a function, or you might be stepping up from a strategic finance, corporate development or strategy seat inside a larger business to own one for the first time. Both work for us. Analysts and accountants who've worked with you got better because you were there
• Genuinely AI-native: you use AI daily in your own workflow and have a clear point of view on where it creates real leverage in a finance function. You use and test the latest tools constantly
• Commercially broad: the best people in this seat operate well beyond finance's lane, on strategy, pricing, partnerships and business operations. We are looking for someone with exceptional judgement when making consequential business decisions and operating in unfamiliar territory
