Chief Financial Officer
Skills
About This Role
*Location: Middle East (GCC)*
- A private investment vehicle is completing the acquisition of an energy and utilities asset in the GCC.
- On close, a new operating company will be established — and this CFO will be there from day one.
- This is a rare opportunity for a hands-on finance leader to build something from the ground up: setting the foundations, shaping the function, and owning the numbers in a lean and commercially driven environment.
- If you've spent your career in large corporate finance teams, this probably isn't for you.
- If you've thrived in asset-level or entrepreneurial settings where you've had to roll up your sleeves and make things work — read on.
- What you'll be doing:
- Leading the financial setup and transition of a newly established GCC operating entity
- Building and owning all core finance systems, controls and reporting processes
- Ensuring full GCC regulatory and compliance requirements are met (VAT, Zakat, statutory reporting)
- Overseeing cash management, treasury and liquidity planning
- Serving as the financial point of contact for the Board, investors and external advisors
- What we're looking for:
- A proven CFO or senior finance leader from the energy, utilities or infrastructure sector
- Hands-on experience setting up or rebuilding a finance function — not just inheriting one
- Strong working knowledge of GCC regulatory and compliance frameworks
- Based in the Middle East or with a clear track record and appetite to relocate
- Entrepreneurial mindset — comfortable operating without big-corporate infrastructure
- Prior experience in a PE or investment-backed operating company is a strong plus
