About the Role
We’re looking for a seasoned financial leader to join a fast-growing, international family office based in Marbella as Director of Finance — a pivotal role for someone ready to drive strategy, shape business decisions, and take ownership of financial performance across a diverse group of companies.
This isn’t just about keeping the books in order. This is about influencing the direction of the businesses, presenting models and insights to the decision-makers, identifying new opportunities for growth (and areas where the budget needs reigning in), and working alongside a motivated, ambitious team that’s hungry to scale — with your expertise lighting the way.
The ideal candidate is a commercially astute, highly analytical finance professional with excellent communication skills, a strategic mindset, and a proactive attitude. Someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, speaks fluent Excel and similar tools, and can steer financial operations across multiple entities with poise and precision.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead financial strategy, forecasting, and long-term planning across all companies within the family office structure
- Develop financial models to assess viability of current and new ventures, partnerships, and investments
- Monitor and manage cash flow, working capital, and liquidity across multiple entities
- Conduct regular financial performance reviews, present insights to founders, CEOs and senior leadership
- Set and track KPIs, create dashboards and reports that inform business decisions
- Identify areas of overspend and inefficiency, and propose actionable cost-saving measures
- Collaborate with department heads to build budgets and forecasts
- Supervise accounting processes, including financial statements, tax submissions, audits and compliance (with external support where relevant)
- Provide financial due diligence and scenario analysis for new projects or acquisitions
- Ensure strong internal controls and risk management procedures
- Manage relationships with banks, auditors, tax advisors, and other external stakeholder
Requirements
- 8+ years of progressive experience in finance, accounting, or strategic financial planning, ideally within an international or entrepreneurial environment
- Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business Admin or similar
- Master’s degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration (MBA), or Financial Management is highly preferred
- Previous experience as a Finance Director, FP&A lead, Head of Finance, or similar
- Fluent in English and Spanish is essential
- Advanced Excel and strong financial modelling skills; experience with reporting tools (e.g., Power BI) preferred
- A strategic thinker with strong attention to detail and a hands-on approach
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to present complex information clearly to non-financial stakeholders
- Strong leadership and organisational skills
On Offer
- Competitive salary tailored to experience and potential
- Full-time, in-person role based in the Marbella office
- A key role within a dynamic, values-driven family office with international reach
- Ambitious but friendly team of high performers
- Real opportunity for long-term growth, impact, and career development
