Director of Finance & Business Performance

This is a remote position.

Job Description

We're rebuilding the finance function of a multi-location food-service business from the ground up, and we need a finance executive who wants to lead that transformation personally — not just report on it.

You'll take over the finance function, protect the essentials (cash, payroll, compliance), and turn finance into a real-time engine for decisions across the business. Once things are stable and running well, you'll have the option to stay embedded, build a successor, or expand into wider work across our portfolio.

What You'll Own

Lead the complete finance function through a hands-on transition

Build accurate, controlled financial reporting and protect cash and payroll

Own budgets, rolling forecasts, and cash planning

Make profitability visible by location, brand, channel, and product

Evaluate pricing, promotions, and investment decisions with real business cases

Redesign the finance team's structure, systems, and controls — and eventually build your own successor

Requirements

What We're Looking For

Significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally at CFO level

A track record improving profitability, forecasting, and cash management

Strong commercial instincts — pricing, unit economics, investment analysis

Advanced, hands-on use of AI and modern finance tools

Professional finance/accounting qualification strongly preferred

Bonus Points

Experience inside a complex, multi-location hospitality, retail, or restaurant business

Client-facing advisory or consulting experience

History of challenging executives with hard evidence, not just opinions

You'll Thrive Here If You...

See finance as a decision-making tool, not just a compliance function

Want to build something from a messy starting point rather than maintain a clean system

Like the idea of eventually training your own replacement and moving on to bigger things
