Our B2B2C model connects grassroots clubs to national governing bodies through comprehensive sports administration technology.

The Opportunity:

We're seeking an experienced CFO for a 6-9 month maternity cover engagement to lead our finance function during a pivotal period of growth and strategic development.

  • Partner with department heads across engineering, product, sales, and QA on budgeting and resource allocation
  • Navigate complex transaction environments and manage stakeholder relationships (investors, board, enterprise clients)
  • Provide strategic counsel to the CEO and executive team on growth initiatives
  • Manage relationships with external advisors, auditors, and financial partners
  • Support enterprise sales cycles with sophisticated financial modeling for B2B contracts
  • Oversee special projects requiring discretion and strategic financial expertise

You Bring:

  • CA/CPA qualification with 5+ years senior finance experience
  • Proven track record as CFO or senior finance leader in scaling technology companies
  • Experience managing finance teams and driving operational excellence
  • Deep expertise in complex transaction management and stakeholder negotiations
  • Understanding of SaaS metrics, subscription models, and B2B enterprise contracts
  • Experience with payment platforms and financial technology is highly regarded
  • Ability to operate with complete discretion on confidential strategic matters
  • Builder mindset - you improve everything you touch rather than just maintaining status quo

Why This Role:

  • Shape the financial strategy of a platform touching millions of sports participants
  • Lead meaningful work that impacts community sports from grassroots to elite levels
  • Navigate interesting financial complexity in a unique B2B2C marketplace
  • Build and mentor a capable finance team
  • Be part of transforming how sports are administered across two nations

Duration:
6-9 months with immediate start preferred
