Head of Finance
 
Own the numbers. Influence the strategy. Drive the performance.
 
Ready to step into a role where finance isn’t just reporting—but leading from the front?
 
We’re hiring a Head of Finance to take charge of a fast-moving, purpose-led business unit. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who thrives on pace, visibility, and real influence.
 
What makes this different?
You won’t be sitting in the background.
You’ll be:
  • In the room with decision-makers
  • Challenging assumptions
  • Turning data into action
  • Driving commercial performance
If you like your finance role close to the business and far from traditional, this is it.
 
Your impact
  • Own monthly reporting—fast, accurate, and insight-driven
  • Lead budgeting & forecasting that actually shapes decisions
  • Deliver sharp analysis that cuts through the noise
  • Partner with leaders to push performance and control costs
  • Bring clarity to projects, margins and commercial delivery
  • Strengthen controls, processes and reporting quality
  • Support audit, board reporting and strategic planning
 
What you bring
  • Qualified (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) or equivalent experience
  • Strong grip on management accounts, forecasting & controls
  • A track record of influencing stakeholders (not just reporting to them)
  • Commercial instinct and the confidence to challenge upwards
  • Pace, energy, and a get-it-done mindset
Bonus points if you’ve worked with projects or operational delivery.
 
Why this role
  • High-profile position with real influence
  • Work directly with senior leadership
  • A business that values ideas, not hierarchy
  • Scope to improve, shape and lead
  • Flexibility for interim or permanent
 
If you want a finance role where you can make noise, not just numbers—this is your move.
