Job description

Overview

This is a senior finance leadership opportunity with a private equity-backed business in a strong growth phase. Based in Dublin with a hybrid working setup, the role has been newly introduced to strengthen strategic planning, commercial insight, and financial leadership as the company expands. The package on offer is €150,000 to €170,000, along with bonus, pension, and health benefits.

About the Business

The organisation is a high-growth company backed by private equity and has already achieved significant scale. It is continuing to invest in leadership, systems, and commercial capability as it moves into the next stage of its development. The position will work closely with the CFO and senior leadership team and will have a direct influence on strategy and performance.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a chance to join at a pivotal moment in the business journey and contribute to meaningful transformation. The role offers broad exposure across the organisation, combining financial stewardship with strategic commercial input in a fast-moving private equity environment. It also provides strong long-term progression and the opportunity to help shape key investment and growth decisions.

Candidate Profile

The role is suited to commercially minded qualified accountants with around 8 to 10 years of post-qualification experience. It may appeal to FP&A senior managers in multinational, large corporate, or private equity-backed settings who are ready to move into a group leadership role. It is also relevant to senior FP&A or commercial finance professionals in financial services who want a broader commercial remit, as well as senior finance managers or financial controllers with solid business partnering and strategic planning experience. Strong financial modelling, forecasting, and executive stakeholder management skills are important, along with the ability to thrive in a fast-paced growth environment.

Key Responsibilities

Reporting to the CFO, this leadership position will own financial planning and decision support across the group. The role involves working closely with the executive leadership team and private equity stakeholders to improve planning, performance, and strategic visibility.

  • Lead the group’s budgeting, forecasting, and wider financial planning cycle.
  • Develop and maintain 3-year and 5-year strategic plans with the CFO and executive team.
  • Provide high-quality financial analysis to support executive and board-level decision-making.
  • Deliver commercial insight to strengthen profitability, cash flow, and operational outcomes.
  • Support M&A work, investment evaluation, and business case preparation through detailed modelling.
  • Build effective relationships with senior stakeholders and contribute to board and investor reporting.
  • Track competitor moves, market developments, and macroeconomic changes to support planning.
  • Improve FP&A processes, reporting quality, KPI design, and performance management tools.

Additional Information

This is a newly created role with direct reporting to the CFO. Interested candidates were invited to share a CV or make direct contact for further details. No external application links are included here.

Terms and Conditions

Location is Dublin with hybrid working. The role is full-time and onsite/hybrid in nature. Compensation is stated as €150,000 to €170,000, plus bonus, pension, and health benefits.
