Chief Financial Officer

Job Description
We're looking for an exceptional Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to join Foodhub's Executive Leadership Team and help shape the next stage of our global growth.

This isn't a traditional CFO role focused purely on reporting and compliance. We're looking for a commercially minded leader who wants to help build the business, influence strategic decisions, and work alongside the CEO in a fast-moving, founder-led environment.

You'll have overall responsibility for the Group's financial strategy, commercial performance, financial governance and global finance operations across the UK, Ireland, USA, ANZ and India. You'll help guide major business decisions, support international expansion, evaluate strategic investments and acquisitions, and ensure the financial infrastructure scales with the business.

We're looking for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution-someone who can challenge ideas, simplify complexity, and help build a finance function that enables growth rather than slows it down.
