Interim CFO | Technology-Led Professional Services Scale-Up | Immediate Start \n \n The Client \n \n Harmonic is delighted to be partnering with a fast-scaling, technology-led professional services business at a pivotal moment. The company has grown quickly, builds its own technology, and has ambitions to be genuinely AI-native across the way it operates. It is now moving to refinance, and getting that deal done cleanly, quickly and on the right terms is a board-level priority. \n \n The Role \n \n This is a full-time interim CFO mandate with a single, clear focus: lead the refinancing and get the deal over the line.
