Director of Finance & Business Performance

This is a remote position.

Job Description

We're rebuilding the finance function of a multi-location food-service business from the ground up, and we need a finance executive who wants to lead that transformation personally — not just report on it.

You'll take over the finance function, protect the essentials (cash, payroll, compliance), and turn finance into a real-time engine for decisions across the business. Once things are stable and running well, you'll have the option to stay embedded, build a successor, or expand into wider work across our portfolio.

What You'll Own

-

Lead the complete finance function through a hands-on transition

-

Build accurate, controlled financial reporting and protect cash and payroll

-

Own budgets, rolling forecasts, and cash planning

-

Make profitability visible by location, brand, channel, and product

-

Evaluate pricing, promotions, and investment decisions with real business cases

-

Redesign the finance team's structure, systems, and controls — and eventually build your own successor

Requirements

What We're Looking For

-

Significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally at CFO level

-

A track record improving profitability, forecasting, and cash management

-

Strong commercial instincts — pricing, unit economics, investment analysis

-

Advanced, hands-on use of AI and modern finance tools

-

Professional finance/accounting qualification strongly preferred

Bonus Points

-

Experience inside a complex, multi-location hospitality, retail, or restaurant business

-

Client-facing advisory or consulting experience

-

History of challenging executives with hard evidence, not just opinions

You'll Thrive Here If You...

-

See finance as a decision-making tool, not just a compliance function

-

Want to build something from a messy starting point rather than maintain a clean system

-

Like the idea of eventually training your own replacement and moving on to bigger things
