The opportunity:

We are seeking a commercially astute and driven finance leader to shape, develop, and lead a high-performing FP&A function for a market-leading, international group.

This is a pivotal, high-visibility role acting as the bridge between financial data and strategic execution. You will be a key partner to senior leadership, providing the "challenge" and insight necessary to influence major operational and investment decisions across a diverse multi-site estate.

As they enter a significant phase of organic and acquisitive growth, you will lead a talented team to deliver elite-level financial planning, scenario modelling, and commercial analysis.

Key performance areas:

• Strategic Partnership and Insight: Act as trusted advisor and strategic partner to the team leveraging financial acumen to provide comprehensive insights that drive strategic decisions.
• Dynamic Performance Management: Continue to improve and refine performance measurement tools and processes, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities in real-time. Provide critical intelligence to the leadership team for informed decision-making, enabling swift course corrections and optimised performance.
• Strategic Efficiency Improvement: Support a comprehensive strategy for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Alongside the wider finance team, identify opportunities to reduce expenditures without compromising quality or satisfaction, fostering a culture of efficiency and continuous improvement.
• Strategic Input: Identify opportunities to optimise business results through sensitivity analysis and complex scenario modelling.

About you:

• Credentials: You are a Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, or CIMA) with significant post-qualification experience in a fast-paced commercial environment.
• Commercial Edge: You possess excellent commercial acumen and the professional confidence to provide robust "challenge" to operational leaders.
• Leadership Track Record: Proven experience in managing and empowering finance teams, with a focus on coaching and objective setting.
• Communication: Exceptional presentational and interpersonal skills, with the ability to tell the "story" behind the numbers to non-finance stakeholders.
• Technical Mastery: Advanced Excel skills are essential. You should have a strong understanding of how to maximise accounting systems to drive efficiency (experience with large-scale ERPs or BI tools is highly desirable).
• Mindset: A proactive, self-motivated approach with the ability to navigate a dynamic, multi-entity group structure. (Experience within Private Equity or rapidly scaling environments is beneficial but not essential).
