Join a fast-growing, PE-backed food manufacturing and branded business.
This company has evolved from a family-owned operation into a leading player in the food industry, with a strong focus on quality, innovation, and expansion. Its flagship brand is Ireland’s number one ready meal, stocked in major supermarkets and now expanding into Europe.
With a high-energy, entrepreneurial culture and ambitious growth plans, we’re seeking a strategic and hands-on Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to drive financial leadership, operational excellence, and scaling initiatives. This role requires someone who enjoys being close to the operation, spending time on-site at the manufacturing facility, and working closely with teams across production, supply chain, and commercial functions. The role is primarily based in the North Dublin area, and your time will be valuable at the company’s leading manufacturing site further north.
What’s in it for you?
- Shape the financial future of a high-growth, multi-brand business
- Work directly with the CEO and leadership team to drive financial strategy and decision-making
- Lead in a dynamic, private equity-backed environment with ambitious expansion plans
- Competitive package in a high-performance, fast-paced setting
What You’ll Do
- Lead financial planning, forecasting, and reporting across multiple business units
- Develop and execute a scalable financial model to support expansion
- Provide financial visibility across manufacturing, supply chain, and sales channels
- Ensure strong financial controls and cost efficiency while maintaining high product quality
- Build and develop a high-performing finance function
- Work closely with operations, spending time in the manufacturing environment to drive efficiencies and insights
What You’ll Need
- Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA) with experience in a fast-moving business
- Strong track record as a CFO or senior finance leader in a high-growth environment
- Manufacturing experience is ideal but not essential
- Experience in private equity-backed environments is a plus
- Hands-on, proactive approach with a willingness to be on-site regularly at both locations
