WE ARE HIRING: Group CFO – Capital Markets & Investor Strategy

Role Overview
We are seeking an exceptional Group CFO – Capital Markets & Investor Strategy to lead a high-impact international IPO journey and shape long-term investor positioning for a global manufacturing and supply chain platform.
This is not a traditional accounting-focused CFO role. Instead, it is a capital markets-driven leadership position responsible for IPO execution, investor engagement, financial storytelling, valuation strategy, and Board-level advisory. Established operational finance teams manage day-to-day accounting, enabling this role to focus on transformation and public-company readiness.

- Oversee IPO financial modelling, scenario planning, and disclosure preparation.
Investor Stewardship (Pre & Post IPO)
- Act as the primary financial interface with the investment community.
- Lead results positioning, earnings narratives, and analyst engagement.
- Establish and lead a structured investor relations function.
- Build long-term relationships with institutional investors and strategic shareholders.
Financial Narrative & Market Positioning
- Translate operational performance into a compelling, data-backed investment story.
- Clearly articulate value drivers, margin structure, capital efficiency, and growth visibility.
- Align Chairman, CEO, and Board messaging for consistent market positioning.
Strategic Financial Advisory
- Advise Board and Executive leadership on capital structure, funding strategy, capital allocation, and shareholder value creation.
- Provide forward-looking financial insights, valuation sensitivity analysis, and risk visibility.
Qualifications & Experience
Essential
- Senior finance leadership experience with strong capital markets or investor exposure.
- Proven ability to communicate complex financial performance clearly and credibly at Board and investor level.
- Strong analytical capability combined with commercial judgement.
- Demonstrated credibility operating with institutional investors and market stakeholders.
Highly Desirable
- IPO or major capital markets transaction experience.
- Experience working within listed company environments.
- Exposure to global, multi-country business structures.
Professional Qualifications
- CA / CPA (or equivalent professional qualification).
- Masters degree (MBA, MSc Finance, or similar).
