Sales Director Job Title: Sales Director AKA "Executive Whisperer" Location: London (hybrid - with in-office working expected 2-3 days per week) Salary: £100-120k basic, plus c.£80k OTE (uncapped) and comprehensive benefits Job Reference: PR- The Problem: Being a C-Suite executive is a bit like being the only person on a lifeboat who knows how to row, except the boat is a multi-billion dollar ship, the ocean is on fire, and everyone is looking at you for a weather report. It's lonely at the top. The Solution: Our client doesn't do networking events (no stale bagels or awkward business card thrusting here). They curate ultra-exclusive peer communities where the world's most powerful leaders actually talk to each other - honestly - about how to steer those flaming ships. The Mission: They are looking for a Sales Director who can walk into a (virtual or physical) room of CEOs and NOT break into a sweat. You're not just selling a membership; you're selling a sanity-saving sanctuary. They aren't looking for a leader of a team (we know job titles are confusing these days), they are looking for a maverick. Are you the one? You speak C-Suite: You can translate complex corporate headaches into "we have a community for that" without sounding like a brochure. You're a Relationship Architect: You don't just close deals; you build bridges that even a global recession couldn't shake. Commercial Sharpness: You know your EBITDA from your elbow, and you understand the gravity of multinational corporate politics. Building pipelines that run like clockwork. You apply Swiss-watch precision to funnel management - ensuring no lead is lost and every movement is intentional. What a typical Tuesday looks like: The High-Stakes Chat: Leading a first conversation with a Fortune 500 CFO. You listen more than you talk, and when you do talk, they lean in. The Tag-Team: Syncing with your team of lead generators (your secret weapon for outreach) to plot the next big move. The Bridge-Building: Partnering with our Group Leaders to ensure a new member feels like they've finally found their people. The Strategy: Tinkering with our sales process because we're growing fast, and "how we did it last year" is ancient history. The Must-Haves: 10+ years of high-octane sales experience A black belt in holding your own, communicating the ROI and sharpness to capture C-suite attention, without question Resilience, grit and credibility to engage the person in the room, that everyone would want to privilege to meet The confidence to tell a senior executive something they don't already know They don't just sell seats at a table. They build the table, invite the smartest people in the world to sit at it, and make sure the conversation changes the future. Giving them the comfort blanket that even the smartest of the world sometimes need. Ready to help the world's leaders co-create something extraordinary?

You'll love the challenge, variety and interest of working for multiple clients and appreciate the flexibility this way of working provides.

Overview Chief Financial Officer Recruiting within the L, WA, CH, and LLpostcodes, across Liverpool, Cheshire and North Wales. What's the opportunity? If you're a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who's frustrated and fed up with the confines of a normal corporate life and you're looking for something different, or you're an independent CFO who's already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent who wants more work flexibility and work life balance, then read on, this might be for you. You'll be responsible for providing CFO services to ambitious £2-50M private businesses, supporting business owners to climb their Everest. We're not interested in people who just want a job. You'll help our clients reach those summits, you'll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a 'can do' attitude, who has a passion to help our clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEO's or MD's. You'll thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based across world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to have the same. What do you need to have? You need to be qualified from one of the UKs major chartered accounting institutes and have been a real-life CFO/FD once, twice or several times over, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success, although your "special sauce" is your natural ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with our clients.

Rather than feeding you fish, we teach you how to catch them and how to build a portfolio career that can be a game changer for clients and yourself. You'll love the challenge, variety and interest of working for multiple clients and appreciate the flexibility this way of working provides. A great listener, and even better at asking great questions, at first you'll wake up every day and think "how do I build my portfolio today" and then as your portfolio builds think "how do I add value and do something special for my clients today?" We're the UK & Global Market leading provider of part-time Finance Director's and Chief Finance Officer's services to mid-sized businesses.

Chief Financial Officer Recruiting in Aberdeen & Dundee! What's the opportunity? If you're a top quality Chief Financial Officer / Finance Director who's frustrated and fed up with the confines of a normal corporate life and you're looking for something different, or you're an independent CFO who's already made the break from corporate life, or a working or returning CFO parent who wants more work flexibility and work life balance, then read on, this might be for you. You'll be responsible for providing CFO services to ambitious £2-50M private businesses, supporting business owners to climb their Everest. We're not interested in people who just want a job. You'll help our clients reach those summits, you'll be a self-starter with ambition, energy, and a "can do" attitude, who has a passion to help our clients, typically business owners, entrepreneurs, CEO's or MD's. You'll thrive on the challenge and autonomy of growing your own portfolio of clients, supported by an incredible network of CFOs based across world. We have big dreams, and we expect you to have the same. What do you need to have? You need to be qualified from one of the UKs major chartered accounting institutes and have been a real-life CFO/FD once, twice or several times over, with strong experience and understanding of commercial finance, business strategy, and a track record of success, although your "special sauce" is your natural ability to build genuine long-lasting relationships with our clients. Part CFO, part advisor, part strategist, part friend. Your clients will say "this person and The CFO Centre are in it with me for the long-term, and I know they really care". Working closely with your Regional Director and team of CFO/FDs in a highly collegiate environment. We pride ourselves on being a great place to work, with family at our core, as is often found in our own client's operations. "I love the family feel of working here. People genuinely care, and you're not just a number. Colin, his wife Julie and all four of their sons make you feel like this business is yours as well." UK Colleague How does it work? The role is self-employed, whilst operating within a defined model, combining the benefits of being part of a team and supported by a well-established organisation, but with a level of autonomy and freedom in how you deliver outcomes for clients. Rather than feeding you fish, we teach you how to catch them and how to build a portfolio career that can be a game changer for clients and yourself. You'll love the challenge, variety and interest of working for multiple clients and appreciate the flexibility this way of working provides. A great listener, and even better at asking great questions, at first you'll wake up every day and think "how do I build my portfolio today" and then as your portfolio builds think "how do I add value and do something special for my clients today?" We're the UK & Global Market leading provider of part-time Finance Director's and Chief Finance Officer's services to mid-sized businesses. As we say, for those businesses that don't want, don't need and probably can't afford a full time CFO/FD, yet who want access to that skillset on an affordable part-time basis. Who are we? We're 700+ people, in 5 continents, operating across multiple regions in the UK & Ireland. We started The CFO Centre to change the game for mid-tier businesses! You'll join a collective team of former CEOs, Executives, CFOs, FDs, and successful business owners who count themselves at top of the game, and who've experienced success in their former lives. We're the Avengers team of the financial strategy world, bringing together thousands of years of collective experience to supercharge our clients' businesses. "I started here 4 years ago and I'm loving the lifestyle, loving the challenge, and loving the difference I can make to the clients I am working with, and the ethos of what this place is all about. I even get to go to my kids football games now!" - CFO Centre CFO We're a movement of people that left 'corporate' seeking a freedom-based lifestyle.
