Our vision is a fairer world where together we unleash the potential of people and communities.

Our multidisciplinary team brings together experience from the public, private and charity sectors. We are known for our collaborative and intellectually curious culture and for delivering systems change, improving how entire systems operate so they produce better, lasting outcomes. One of our most significant initiatives is IPS Grow, which supports the national expansion of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) employment services across England. IPS is an evidence-based approach that helps people experiencing severe mental illness, addiction and other health challenges find and sustain competitive employment with tailored support. IPS Grow works with commissioners, healthcare providers and delivery partners to expand high-quality IPS services, improve quality and learning across the system, and ensure the data and evidence behind IPS continue to demonstrate its impact. Scaling IPS has been a priority for Social Finance since 2015 and continues to be an integral part of our work today. With IPS Grow transitioning from a fast growing initiative to a mature organisation with expanding reach and influence, we are now looking for an experienced Chief Operating Officer to join the IPS Grow and Social Finance Senior Leadership Team. The COO will provide strategic leadership across IPS Grow s operational infrastructure, ensuring the organisation has the systems, processes and capabilities required to deliver impact at scale.

The role will also help shape the organisational structures and culture needed to support sustainable growth. We are looking for a senior operational leader with experience in finance and the non-profit or publicly funded sectors, ideally with a track record of helping organisations scale. You will bring strong financial literacy, sound strategic judgement and the ability to build effective operational frameworks in complex environments. You will be a collaborative partner across IPS Grow and the wider Social Finance organisation, building trusted relationships, bringing clarity to operational challenges and fostering a strong one team culture across a distributed team.

Gresham House Ventures have just backed us, and now we're ready to back you. We're scaling fast - £3M to £15M ARR, backed by serious capital and have a clear growth strategy. We see finance as a competitive advantage, not a control function. We understand achieving a 10x £150 Million exit in the future needs the right expertise to build enterprise value - not just report it - and before the real acceleration begins. Not only that, but we also know titles don't create wealth - equity and timing do, and for you to do your best work you'll need real ownership and a collaborative leadership team that's ready for you to lead with vigour and deliver your best work. If you're ready to be instrumental in this journey, actively shaping where we invest, how we grow, and how we position for maximum value at exit, we'd love to hear from you. We are Modo25 / ASK BOSCO. Ready for your next adventure? The Role at a Glance: CFO Chief Finance Officer Hybrid Working / Leeds HQ - At least a couple of days fortnightly plus board and key meetings £90,000 - £150,000 + Equity Plus Benefits: 4-day working week, 30 days annual leave incl bank holidays, health insurance, critical illness cover, life insurance, retail & leisure perks, electric car scheme Your Skills: Qualified - ACCA, ACA, CIMA. Hands-on Financial Leadership with Scaling Tech Co - expertise with a sale or significant funding round. Who we are: We're building a high-growth AI SaaS business alongside a profitable agency, and we're looking for a CFO who wants to help shape the story - and the exit. Modo25 is a digital marketing agency working with enterprise brands. ASK BOSCO is our AI-powered marketing analytics platform that predicts marketing ROI with 96% accuracy. Together, we're scaling from £3m to £15m over the next three years, backed by Gresham House Ventures, with a clear path to exit at a 10x revenue multiple. You will be instrumental in this journey. Your Expertise: You are a commercially astute, qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) (ideally Big-4 trained) with a proven track record of helping ambitious businesses scale at pace. Having spent several years inside a high-growth scale-up, you are fluent in SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, NRR, LTV:CAC) and comfortable operating in the complexity that comes with rapid expansion, funding rounds and exit-readiness. Based in, or excited to relocate to Leeds or happy to be onsite 2 days per week, you thrive working closely with a leadership team and shaping the future of a business from the inside. What truly sets you apart is your breadth of perspective: experience across SaaS and professional services, exposure to M&A, and a genuine commitment to building a business that balances performance with purpose through progressive ways of working and meaningful social impact. Why This Role Is Different You'll be joining a leadership team that genuinely wants finance at the heart of decision-making. The CEO and COO are ready to hand over the numbers to focus on growth, product, and market expansion. They're not looking for a gatekeeper. They're looking for a commercial partner who can: • Build reporting - real-time dashboards and MI to run the day-to-day business, as well as report at Board level • Navigate a hybrid model - agency retainers alongside SaaS subscriptions, each with different economics • Spot growth opportunities the rest of us haven't seen - you'll have access to data nobody else is interrogating • Prepare the business for exit - clean books, compelling story, data room ready, and a CFO who can hold their own in due diligence We've built today, for you to build tomorrow We're not perfect - and we're honest about that. Today, our finance function is a fractional CFO for half a day a week, a high-calibre new Finance Manager, and a COO who's been carrying more financial responsibility than she should. It works, but it's not built to scale. With funding in the bank, investors on hand and an ambitious scale target we need you at the helm - dedicated financial leadership building out robust processes, embedding best practice, and making proactive, insight-led decisions about what we should prioritise, invest in, and do next to support sustainable growth. You'll be managing two business models with different rhythms, different metrics, and different levers. If that sounds like a headache, this isn't for you. If it sounds like an interesting puzzle, let's talk. What We Offer • £90,000 - £150,000 base salary depending on experience • Equity - real ownership with meaningful upside if we hit our exit targets • Four-day working week - we believe in output over hours, and we've made it work • A seat at the table - you'll report directly to the CEO and work closely with the COO and Gresham House • An 'Outstanding Company to Work For 2024' - we take culture seriously The Process We're taking a considered, high-bar approach to this hire. Our interview process is intentionally rigorous because we're focused on attracting true A-players, and we're prepared to invest the time to find the right fit. You can expect a thorough, high-quality process that includes psychometric assessment and a commercial case study-designed to understand not just what you've achieved, but how you think and make decisions. Target start date: Ideally June 2026 Ready to make a move? If this sounds like the challenge you've been looking for, a true commercial partner role rather than just another finance position, we'd love to hear from you. No cover letter is required; simply share your CV along with a couple of sentences on what drew you to the opportunity. We're excited to meet you. Team Modo25 / ASK BOSCO Application notice We take your privacy seriously. As you might expect you may be contacted by email, text or telephone.
