We are looking for a commercially astute Head of Finance to lead the organisation’s financial strategy while providing the leadership team with the insights required to make better business decisions. This is more than a reporting and accounting role. The successful candidate will own financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, performance management, cash-flow optimisation and commercial finance, partnering with the CEO and business leaders to drive sustainable growth and profitability.

Develop and execute the organisation’s financial strategy in alignment with business objectives. Translate business strategy into financial plans, targets and investment priorities. Provide financial insights to support strategic and commercial decisions. Develop financial models for new businesses, projects and growth opportunities. Evaluate business cases, investments and major expenditure decisions.

Lead the annual budgeting and planning process. Develop departmental and company-wide budgets. Establish financial targets and monitor performance against approved budgets. Maintain rolling forecasts and scenario plans. Identify financial risks, variances, and emerging opportunities early.

Develop management reports and financial dashboards for the CEO and leadership team. Analyse revenue, costs, margins, profitability and cash performance. Provide actionable recommendations based on financial trends. Establish financial KPIs and performance measures across the business. Drive accountability for budget ownership across departments.

Partner with Commercial, Operations and Business Development teams to improve profitability. Analyse pricing, margins, customer profitability and commercial performance. Support negotiations and major commercial decisions with financial analysis. Identify opportunities for cost optimisation and revenue improvement.

Lead cash-flow planning and liquidity management. Optimise working capital and cash conversion. Monitor receivables, payables and cash commitments. Ensure the business maintains appropriate liquidity to support operations and growth.

Strengthen financial controls, policies and processes. Ensure accurate and timely financial reporting. Maintain appropriate approval and expenditure controls. Work with auditors, tax advisers and regulatory stakeholders. Ensure compliance with applicable financial, tax and statutory requirements.

Lead and develop the finance team. Partner with the CEO and senior leadership team as a trusted financial adviser. Build financial capability and accountability across non-finance teams. Present financial performance, forecasts and strategic recommendations to management and the Board where required.

What we're Looking For

6–8years of progressive finance experience, with significant leadership responsibility. Professional qualification such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA. Strong experience in financial planning, budgeting, forecasting and management reporting. Strong commercial and strategic finance capability. Demonstrated experience in financial modelling and business-case evaluation. Strong understanding of cash-flow and working-capital management. Experience partnering with CEOs and senior executives. Strong analytical, communication and stakeholder-management skills. High commercial awareness with the ability to translate numbers into business decisions.

Success in this Role

“Where are we financially today, where are we going, what could stop us from getting there, and what financial decisions do we need to make now to improve the outcome?” This is a finance leadership role for someone who doesn't just report the numbers — they understand the story behind the numbers and use them to shape the business.
