Location: Birmingham (Hybrid)

Type: Permanent

The Role

We’re looking for a Head of Shared Services / Finance Transformation Manager who knows how to take a finance operation from “functional” to “fantastic.” Someone who can diagnose, design and deliver change - and bring people with them. This role is to join a rapidly growing business and there is no doubt, there will be ongoing projects for someone who likes problem solving and driving efficiencies.

What you’ll be driving

  * End-to-end leadership of Shared Service operations across AP, AR, Treasury, and General Accounting.

  * A full transformation agenda: process redesign, automation, standardisation, and continuous improvement; for e.g. experience in implementing a PO process in AP and untangling transactional finance to drive efficiencies.

  * Implementation or optimisation of ERP / finance systems

  * Embedding and monitoring SLA/KPI frameworks that mean something

  * Building team capability: coaching, upskilling, and shaping a high-performance culture.

  * Business partnering with Finance, HR, IT and Ops leaders to ensure scalable processes that support growth.

  * Owning governance, compliance, internal controls and month-end performance metrics.

  * Elevating efficiency, accuracy and customer service across the finance ecosystem.

What you bring

  * Strong background running Shared Service Centres or multi-disciplinary finance operations.

  * Proven success delivering finance transformation - systems, processes, people.

  * A track record of turning manual, inconsistent processes into automated, integrated ones.

  * A leadership style that balances structure with empathy - firm when needed, supportive by default.

  * Stakeholder gravitas: you can challenge, influence, negotiate and reset expectations with ease.

  * Experience leading in complex, multi-site, or high-growth environments.

  * A mindset that loves continuous improvement (and isn’t afraid to rip up what “we’ve always done”).

Why join our client?

  * A genuine mandate for change and creating a seamless, functioning finance department

  * Backing from the CFO and Exec team to modernise the finance engine room.

  * Autonomy to build, reshape and elevate the Shared Services function.

  * Hybrid working with flexibility baked in.

  * A role where you can leave your mark - structurally, operationally, culturally.
