The Opportunity
This is an outstanding opportunity to join a well-established, multi-site retail business.
The business has a proud heritage and a strong reputation for serving customers across the UK. Having undergone significant transformation in recent years, it has returned to sustainable profitability and is now entering the next phase of its growth.
This is not a traditional Finance Director position. Whilst exceptional financial leadership remains the foundation, the successful individual will become one of the Managing Director's closest business partners, helping shape strategy, improve operational performance and take the business to the next level.
This is a high-profile appointment with genuine influence across the organisation and the opportunity to make a lasting impact.
The Role
As Finance Director, you will have full responsibility for the finance function, ensuring best-in-class financial control, reporting, governance and compliance.
Beyond finance, you will work alongside the Managing Director as a trusted adviser and problem solver, taking ownership of key business initiatives and helping drive operational improvements across the wider business.
This is a role for someone who enjoys operating beyond the traditional finance remit and thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
Key responsibilities include:
Leading and developing the finance function, ensuring best practice across financial reporting, controls, compliance and governance
Defining and delivering the financial strategy in line with the wider business objectives
Acting as Senior Accounting Officer (HMRC)
Taking full ownership of working capital, cashflow, forecasting and financial planning
Providing commercial insight and challenge to support business performance and strategic decision-making
Acting as a trusted partner to the Managing Director, helping solve complex business challenges across multiple functions
Supporting operational improvement initiatives across different areas of the business
Presenting financial and operational performance to senior leadership and shareholders
Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, profitability and long-term business performance
The Person
We are looking for an exceptional Finance Director who combines first-class technical finance capability with strong commercial judgement and the credibility to operate as a genuine business partner.
You will:
Be a qualified accountant with proven experience as a Finance Director within a multi-site retail or consumer business
Have an outstanding grasp of financial control, reporting, governance, cashflow, FP&A and working capital
Be commercially aware with the ability to translate financial information into business decisions
Be capable of operating well beyond the traditional finance remit, taking ownership of wider business challenges where required
Have the confidence and credibility to influence at board level and constructively challenge senior stakeholders
Be resilient, decisive and comfortable making difficult decisions in a demanding environment
Enjoy working at pace and taking ownership of complex problems
Be someone who naturally builds trust and becomes a genuine sparring partner to the Managing Director
Why Join
A genuine opportunity to shape the future of a recognised multi-site retail business
True number one finance role with significant influence across the organisation
Direct partnership with the Managing Director and exposure to Group leadership
Opportunity to broaden your remit beyond finance and play a key role in the overall direction of the business
A highly visible leadership role with real autonomy and accountability
