1343 Interim CFO Pharma - Pologne, République tchèque
A propos de notre client :
A private equity-backed pharmaceutical manufacturing business with regional headquarters in Poland is strengthening finance leadership and reporting discipline across its Central European operations. With production and finance activity spanning Poland and the Czech Republic, the company operates in a regulated manufacturing environment where plant performance, cost visibility, and reporting accuracy are critical to margin delivery, compliance, and executive decision-making.
The business is in a post-acquisition and integration phase. Legacy processes, inconsistent reporting, and uneven financial governance have reduced transparency across the region. This mandate sits at the centre of finance transformation in Poland and the Czech Republic, combining SAP integration, manufacturing controlling, shared services coordination, and performance improvement in a pharmaceutical business that needs stronger structure, clearer reporting, and more reliable financial leadership.
Description du projet :
This is a high-impact interim finance leadership mandate for an executive who can quickly restore control, improve reporting quality, and create a more disciplined finance operating model across Poland and the Czech Republic. The role is designed for a hands-on interim leader who can stabilise a complex regional finance environment while supporting plant leadership, shared services, and senior management with clear, decision-ready information.
The successful candidate will bring strong interim executive leadership, deep pharmaceutical or regulated manufacturing finance expertise, and the ability to operate calmly in situations where systems, processes, and reporting standards are not yet fully aligned. This is a mandate focused on visible business impact.
- Likely operating as Interim Finance Director, Interim Regional CFO, or Interim Head of Finance, reporting to the regional General Manager or senior leadership team.
- Lead finance transformation across Poland and the Czech Republic, covering plant finance, controlling, accounting, and regional management reporting.
- Stabilise financial governance in a post-acquisition environment where reporting consistency, process discipline, and management visibility need to be strengthened.
- Drive SAP integration and harmonisation of finance processes, helping align legacy entities and local operations to group standards.
- Build reliable monthly reporting that gives leadership clear insight into plant performance, margin drivers, and operational priorities.
- Strengthen manufacturing controlling through practical plant reporting, structured monthly review cycles, and sharper accountability.
Interim Manager Compétences requises :
The ideal candidate is a senior interim finance executive, typically a former Interim CFO, Finance Director, Regional Finance Leader, or Group Controller with strong experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing, life sciences, or other regulated industrial environments across Central Europe.
- Has led multi-site or cross-border finance organisations in Poland, the Czech Republic, or the wider Central European region.
- Brings deep expertise in interim finance leadership, financial transformation, and management reporting in regulated operational businesses.
- Understands how to restore reporting accuracy and management confidence where processes are fragmented or weak.
