Opportunities

Retained CFO search for a high-growth, investor-backed renewable energy platform, currently operating across Southern Europe with ambitious plans to scale.

With a significant portfolio of authorised utility-scale projects and a development pipeline ready to enter construction, the platform is deeply embedded locally, well-resourced, and positioned for long-term value creation.

Privately owned and led by a seasoned team with a strong track record of scaling and exiting clean energy ventures, the business has already secured institutional capital and structured a number of innovative financing deals. The focus is now firmly on delivery – with major investor interest and a clear route to becoming a strategic energy supplier to Europe.

The incoming CFO will succeed a highly respected incumbent who built the finance function from the ground up - managing a complex multi-country SPV structure with minimal internal resource.

With retirement planned, the business is ready to bring in its next commercial lead, with a clear intention for this hire to evolve into the CEO role within 12 months.

Key responsibilities

• Lead all aspects of financial strategy, capital structuring, and both project-level and (potentially) corporate-level fundraising
• Manage relationships with investors, lenders, and strategic capital partners across the UK, Europe and beyond
• Oversee financial operations - including cash flow, group structuring, tax (with external advisors), and governance
• Act as a key partner to the Board, shaping long-term strategy and market expansion opportunities
• Build and scale a lean but high-performing finance team - currently a Junior Accountant and trusted external advisors
• Step into broader business leadership through the construction and commercialisation phase, with a view to succession

What we're looking for

• A strategic, hands-on CFO with experience in infrastructure, energy, or other capital-intensive sectors
• Proven ability to raise equity and debt, ideally with exposure to cross-border or European project finance
• Commercial leadership in high-growth, founder-led or investor-backed environments
• Confidence to operate under board governance, challenge constructively, and earn trust
• Strong grasp of group structuring, investor reporting, and financial control across multiple jurisdictions
• ACA (or equivalent) preferred

Why this?

• A flat, agile platform with a clear path to scale - and assets ready to build
• Deep in-market access via a highly respected Country Manager and established local team
• Exposure to strategic growth, capital markets, and energy transition from a base that’s already proven
• Hybrid flexibility from London, with a dedicated 50-person team in-country
• This is a rare CFO opportunity with genuine headroom to step into the CEO role
