The Opportunity Our client is seeking an accomplished Chief Financial Officer to join its senior leadership team during an important phase of growth and transformation. This role requires a finance leader who can create, implement and lead a modern financial ecosystem rather than simply manage an established finance department. The CFO will play a central role in strengthening profitability, financial discipline, cash management and business decision-making while developing the finance and credit capabilities required for future growth. Working closely with the CEO and technology leadership, the successful candidate will establish the people, processes, systems and governance framework needed to support a rapidly scaling business.

Technology, Data & Automation – Partner closely with technology and product teams to integrate finance and credit requirements into the company’s digital platforms. – Develop reliable data systems to measure profitability, customer economics and credit performance. – Drive automation of financial reporting, reconciliation and management information. – Ensure effective integration between business platforms, ERP, payments and financial systems. Cash, Treasury & Working Capital – Manage liquidity, cash flow and funding requirements. – Improve the efficiency of inventory, receivables and payables. – Strengthen working-capital management and establish reliable cash-flow forecasting. Governance & Strategic Contribution – Ensure compliance with statutory, taxation, regulatory and corporate governance requirements. – Maintain strong relationships with auditors, banks and other financial stakeholders. – Support investor engagement, funding initiatives and strategic planning. – Contribute actively as a member of the senior leadership team. Candidate Profile – Qualified Chartered Accountant is mandatory. – Approximately 12- 18 years of post-qualification experience in progressively responsible finance leadership roles. – Strong experience in a high-growth B2B, e-commerce, distribution or technology-enabled business. – Experience working within a large, professionally managed organisation with exposure to Board reporting, strategic finance, treasury, funding and capital allocation. – Demonstrated experience in building finance functions, implementing ERP systems and establishing financial controls and processes. – Hands-on exposure to credit, lending, customer financing or financial partnerships. – Strong understanding of profitability analysis, unit economics, working capital and cash-flow management. – Experience in working with financial institutions and external stakeholders.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your resume for Head Hunter India, don’t just list your years of experience—prove mastery of SAP with a specific, measurable achievement. Senior roles need concrete impact, not generic duties. This shows you understand the role’s real demands.

UN process — Complete an up-to-date, role-specific UN P11 — a generic P11 is disqualifying. Apply within 72 hours of posting: UN agencies often close applications once volume thresholds are reached.

Key figures — Budgets managed, cost savings achieved, audits closed on time: prepare 3 precise financial achievements with amounts. African CFOs often test IFRS or local GAAP knowledge — be ready with specific examples.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
