Here’s a polished, generic job ad you can use or adapt:

Chief Financial Officer — Private Equity Portfolio Company
The Role:
We are seeking a seasoned, strategic Chief Financial Officer to join a dynamic private equity–backed organisation poised for its next stage of growth. The ideal candidate is an accomplished finance leader with deep experience in leveraged environments, capital structure management, and value creation strategies within PE-backed companies.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead all financial operations, providing strategic insight to drive growth, operational efficiency, and long-term enterprise value.

• Manage debt structures, banking relationships, and covenant compliance with a strong command of leveraged finance.

• Oversee fundraising efforts including equity raises, refinancing initiatives, and lender negotiations.

• Partner closely with the CEO and private equity sponsors to define and execute the strategic roadmap.

• Drive exit readiness, including financial transparency, KPI optimization, due diligence preparation, and board-level communication.

• Implement robust financial systems, forecasting models, and performance metrics to support scale.

Qualifications:

• Proven success as a CFO in a private equity portfolio company or similar high-growth, sponsor-led environment.

• Extensive experience with debt management, capital optimisation, and liquidity planning.

• Demonstrated track record of supporting or leading a successful exit (sale, recap, or IPO).

• Strong leadership, communication, and stakeholder-management skills.

• Ability to thrive in fast-paced, change-driven environments.

If you want, I can tailor the tone (e.g., more formal, more punchy), make it industry-specific, or adjust based on company size or stage.
