About Dobrov & Family Group
Dobrov & Family Group (DFG) is a family-owned group with assets under management of over EUR 300 million. We invest, develop, and operate across four core verticals: real estate development, hospitality development, renewable energy, and venture capital. Our portfolio companies operate across multiple European jurisdictions.
We are at an inflection point. Our 2030 strategy is a growth-oriented approach across our vertical that requires smart capital deployment, high returns, multi-jurisdictional consolidation, and a deliberate digital-first transformation of how the group operates, including the finance function.
About the Role
We are looking for a commercially oriented, hands-on Group Head of Finance to run the group's financial function, reporting directly to the CEO. You will own month-end close, management reporting, and budgeting coordination across our multi-jurisdictional portfolio. This is an operational role for someone who is comfortable managing the financial function, providing support and advisory to the board and not afraid to roll up their sleeves and support operations. Also, this is not a "status quo" role; it is a mandate for a future builder who treats finance as a strategic asset for operations and the company's success.
Digital transformation is a top priority, and we expect AI to be at the heart of that evolution. We are looking for a leader who will move AI beyond theory, someone empowered with a dedicated budget and autonomy to push automation into real-world workflows and elevate the entire team’s efficiency through technology.
