G1 Search is partnering with an ambitious and growing software technology business to appoint a Fractional Finance Director.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Finance Director or CFO to join a leadership team at a pivotal stage of growth.

Working closely with the Managing Director, Board, and senior leadership team, the successful candidate will provide strategic financial leadership, commercial insight, and governance support. This is not a traditional finance role. The appointment will play a key role in shaping business strategy, improving decision-making, supporting growth initiatives, and helping prepare the organisation for future strategic opportunities.
The successful candidate will act as a trusted adviser to the Board, bringing challenge, perspective, and commercial expertise while helping the business navigate its next phase of development. This is an opportunity to influence the direction of a technology business with significant growth ambitions and a strong platform for future success.
