Urban Mining Group, a portfolio company of AUCTUS Capital Partners, is building the leading group of recycled construction materials companies in Germany - in the country's largest bulk material stream: mineral construction and demolition materials with an annual volume of around 250 million tonnes. The platform and first transaction of Urban Mining Group is the Blasius Schuster Group; together with AUCTUS as majority shareholder, growth is planned through acquisitions, partnerships and organic site development

For this growth phase, we are newly creating the position of CFO (m/f/d). You will build the group's finance function from the ground up - from the holding structure through reporting and controlling to M&A and integration capability. You will report to the Managing Directors and work closely with the shareholder group and the management teams of the group companies.

Location: Frankfurt/Offenbach

• Building the finance function at group level: You will establish holding and group accounting, consolidation, controlling and treasury - where today there are still individually grown single-company structures.

• Overall responsibility for finance, controlling, bookkeeping, treasury and reporting across the group.

• Creating transparency: Establishing robust monthly, quarterly and annual reporting (HGB, consolidated financial statements) including a KPI framework focused on the value drivers of our industry - tonnage, acceptance and sales prices, utilisation of processing plants and backfill volumes, transport and freight costs, contribution margins by site and material stream.

• Management: Budgeting, forecasting, rolling liquidity planning and working capital and cash management across several companies and sites.

• Investment and asset management: Business cases and cost-benefit analyses for processing technology, vehicle fleet, site and permitting projects; capital allocation between organic projects and acquisitions.

• M&A as a core task: You will support acquisitions from financial due diligence through financing to closing - together with AUCTUS and external advisers.

• Post-merger integration: You will transfer acquired companies into the group's chart of accounts, reporting, processes and systems and deliver measurable synergies.

• Financing and stakeholders: First point of contact for banks, auditors, tax advisers and shareholders; covenant reporting, acquisition and investment financing, leasing and security structures.

• Systems and digitalisation: Harmonising and developing ERP, weighbridge/invoicing and dispatch systems as well as BI reporting; automating manual processes, including the consistent use of AI-supported tools in finance.

• Governance and risk: Internal controls, compliance topics of the waste and construction materials industry in their financial dimension (including provisions for recultivation, aftercare and site obligations, among others), insurance, investment administration.

• Team: Building and leading a lean finance team in the group - from the central holding team to the professional link with the decentralised bookkeeping functions.

• Completed degree in business administration, finance, industrial engineering or equivalent; additional qualifications are welcome (e.g. Bilanzbuchhalter, CPA/WP, CFA).

• Several years of responsibility as CFO, Head of Finance or Head of Controlling in medium-sized companies - ideally in a private equity-backed or group-building environment.

• Proven experience in building finance functions and structures, not just administering them

• Solid knowledge of HGB (IFRS an advantage), consolidation, controlling and financial planning.

• Experience with M&A and post-merger integration - financial due diligence, purchase price mechanisms, integrating acquisitions into reporting and systems.

• Experience working with banks and lenders, ideally with acquisition financing and covenant reporting.

• Practical experience in optimising processes and introducing or harmonising ERP and BI systems.

• Affinity for operationally driven, asset- and logistics-intensive business models - construction materials, recycling, waste management, transport, construction or related industries are a clear advantage.

• Hands-on mentality: you are equally willing to work in the numbers as on strategy - in an organisation that does not yet have a department for every task.

• Strong communication skills and resilience when dealing with entrepreneurs, shareholders and site managers; willingness to travel within Germany.

• Fluent German and English.

• Room to shape rather than administer: a newly created key role with the opportunity to build the finance function of an emerging group according to your own ideas.

• Visible impact: You will be part of the core team consolidating a fragmented industry - in a market with structural tailwinds from the circular economy, resource scarcity and infrastructure investment.

• Professional environment: the combination of an owner-managed mid-sized company and the buy-and-build experience of AUCTUS.

• Short paths: direct collaboration with management and shareholders, quick decisions, no corporate bureaucracy.

• Attractive remuneration package including the opportunity to participate in the group's success.

• Conditions: permanent full-time employment, company car, hybrid working.

• Perspective: a role that grows with the group - from building the foundation to supporting the group in its next stage of development.

We look forward to your application!
