CFO

This role is most likely to appeal to a number 2 or possibly number 1 looking for a meaty and hands on CFO role that will be as operational as it will be commercial and strategic.

High level overview:

• Oversight for all fund operations, investor reporting, treasury/liquidity management and middle and front office deal support; the full gamut. Credit products include a mixture of performing and non-performing debt across consumer and corporate markets and liquid as well as illiquid investments.
• Immediate project to provide leadership and guidance to a Finance/ops team of 7 as well as work to improve and tweak the outsourced fund admin relationship.
• Work with the investment team on the valuations process across all portfolios, in conjunction with external advisers.
• Involvement in the design and launch of new credit products.
• High-level oversight for all budgeting/forecasting, financial analysis and MI reporting for each credit structure.
• Manage all treasury aspects per fund including all investor calls and distributions, revolving credit facilities and the respective security packages.
• Key leadership role and Board appointment, working as a trusted advisor to the Partners, with a seat at the decision making table and responsibility for the bulk of the non investment side of the business (as a peer to the COO).

Your background:

• Qualified accountant (essential) with at least 10 years+ PQE and a background in private credit or direct lending (essential). Experience in funds finance is also strongly preferred (as opposed to an investment professional wanting to take their career in a different direction).
• More than likely operating as the number 2 in another fund or platform and eager to step up into your first CFO role.
• Significant operational knowledge in a busy funds environment; comfortable working in a high growth and unstructured set up that needs improving.
• Lots of personality, drive, charisma and enthusiasm. The culture of the business is high performing but also sociable, fun and flexible so it's important the person who joins has a blended personality, high emotional intelligence, with proven C suite level business partnering skills.
• Exceptional people management and leadership skills: able to bring a team together, get buy in and set the direction of travel.
• Comfortable being in the detail as well as high level.
• Good organisational skills with an ability to manage multiple workstreams and counterparties to deliver all projects and reporting to deadlines.
