The client is seeking a Chief Financial Officer to serve as the senior financial leader across a large enterprise, sitting on the Executive Committee and shaping strategy alongside enabling delivery. The role oversees substantial annual expenditure across thousands of complex, high-risk programmes, and is responsible for combining rigorous stewardship with judgement to support pace, innovation, and intelligent risk-taking.
In this reform-focused context, the CFO will be a key architect of change, driving improvements in financial, operational, and programme management capability while building a high-performing finance function that is outward-looking and focused on value for money. The position will engage with senior stakeholders to sustain delivery confidence, and help unlock new commercial models and private capital approaches to support ambition at scale.
The client is looking for an enterprise-minded leader with credibility to operate at the most senior levels and resilience to lead through complexity and scrutiny. Candidates should bring deep experience in strategic financial leadership within large organisations, strong commercial instincts, and a track record of translating strategy into execution, along with an intellectually curious and calm approach under pressure and a strong motivation by purpose.
