  • M&A, post-acquisition integration, multi-company or PE-backed experience.
  • Industrial, engineering or project-based businesses.

About the Company

Managing Composites is an engineering company specialized in composite materials. We grew fast as a founder-led business, and now we are becoming a group. WIMH (Where Is My Helmet) will hold MC, future companies, acquisitions and a UK Ltd that is joining us.

Today almost everything still runs through MC. Our finance works for the company we were. We need someone to build the finance for the company we are becoming: numbers we trust, decisions made faster, and foundations strong enough for organic growth and acquisitions.

How We Work at MC

• People first. We build things with people, and the numbers are there to help them, not to police them.
• Trust by default. You get full ownership and full autonomy. No news is good news.
• Try, fail, learn. We prefer someone who experiments and sometimes gets it wrong over someone who never tries. Hiding a mistake is the only real mistake.
• Engineers at heart. We like hard problems, honest data and direct conversations. No politics.
• We grow together. When the company does well, the people who made it happen share the results.
