HEAD OF FINANCE (M/F/D) | CARBON REMOVAL – SUSTAINABILITY

Backed by private equity and family office investors, PYREG is entering its next phase of international growth and professionalization. Historically, the company has invested heavily in research and development to build its leading technology position and establish a strong foundation for long-term success. The next phase will be defined by greater commercial focus, operational discipline, and scalable profitable growth.

We are looking for a high-caliber Head of Finance to join PYREG at a defining stage of its development.

This is not a narrow finance role. We are seeking a finance leader who can run the finance function with confidence and at the same time act as a strategic partner to the CEO and leadership team. The position reports directly to the CEO. The role requires financial depth, commercial judgment, and the ability to represent PYREG credibly in demanding internal and external settings.

The successful candidate will help shape the company’s next chapter of growth, transformation, and international scale. This includes supporting sophisticated customer and stakeholder discussions, contributing to strategic and operational decisions across the business, and helping position PYREG for the requirements of larger industrial customers and increasingly professional global markets.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Own the finance function end-to-end, including liquidity management, reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and financial governance across the group

• Lead, develop, and grow a team of finance experts, fostering a high-performance culture and building the capability needed to support PYREG’s international expansion

• Build robust financial transparency and project controlling in an international, capital-project-driven environment

• Act as a strategic sparring partner to the CEO and leadership team on growth, profitability, performance, and business transformation

• Represent PYREG towards board members, investors, customers, financing partners, auditors, and other key stakeholders

• Support complex commercial discussions, including project financing structures, customer business cases, and carbon credit-related models

• Ensure full regulatory compliance across all relevant jurisdictions, including oversight of tax structuring and transfer pricing within the international group structure

• Contribute to company-wide optimization topics such as supply chain, cost structure, footprint decisions, and make-or-buy choices

• Help drive the professionalization of PYREG into a highly capable international player serving demanding industrial customers

• Strong finance background with the ability to lead the finance function independently and confidently

• Broader strategic and commercial capability beyond finance, with the judgment to contribute meaningfully at leadership level

• Experience in consulting, transaction advisory, private equity portfolio environments, industry players or similarly demanding professional settings is highly attractive

• Exposure to industrial, project-based, energy, infrastructure, or clean tech environments is strongly preferred

• Comfortable operating in a dynamic, scaling company and helping build structures, processes, and maturity

• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to engage at senior level internally and externally

• Entrepreneurial, hands-on, and motivated by the opportunity to help build a business of real substance and relevance

• Fluent in German and English

WORKING MODEL

This is a full-time, permanent position and a hybrid role designed with flexibility in mind. We are very open to candidates who prefer to work largely remotely, with in-person presence at PYREG locations on a regular but selective basis, depending on business needs, collaboration, and key topics. The role is well suited to candidates from the Frankfurt/Wiesbaden or Cologne/Bonn regions and offers the flexibility expected in an international environment that operates across different markets and time zones. PYREG's headquarters are located in Dörth, Germany. We are looking to fill this role as soon as possible.

Annual leave: 30 days per year on the basis of a 5-day working week.
