Location: Greater London
Job Description:

This is a well-established retail brand with real presence — known for its energy, creativity, and strong customer following.

Behind the scenes, the finance team plays a critical role in keeping a complex, stock-driven operation running smoothly. The business has continued to evolve and strengthen, and this role sits right at the heart of that.

You’ll be joining a high-performing team with a strong track record of internal progression and development.

The role

This is a senior leadership role within operational finance, with full ownership of management accounting, financial control, and team performance.

It’s ideal for someone who enjoys building strong foundations — leading a team, improving processes, and ensuring finance runs accurately and efficiently in a fast-paced retail environment.

You’ll have real responsibility and visibility, acting as a key link between finance, operations, and senior stakeholders.

What you’ll be doing

  • Lead, develop and support a team of 3+, creating a high-performing and engaged environment
  • Own the end-to-end management accounts process, including P&L and balance sheet reviews
  • Take responsibility for financial control, ensuring accuracy, integrity, and compliance
  • Oversee month-end close and continuously improve timelines and processes
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to explain performance and provide clear insight
  • Play a key role in audit and statutory reporting processes
  • Identify and drive improvements across systems, processes, and controls

What we’re looking for

  • Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA or equivalent)
  • Strong experience in management accounting, financial control, or operational finance
  • Experience leading and developing finance teams
  • Solid understanding of balance sheets, controls, and reporting processes
  • Experience in a stock-based or retail environment
  • Confident communicator, able to work effectively with non-finance stakeholders

Why this role?

  • Genuine ownership of a core finance function
  • Opportunity to lead and shape a team
  • Exposure to a large, complex retail environment
  • A stable, well-regarded brand with a strong internal culture
  • Clear scope to improve processes and make a visible impact

Interested?

If you’re looking for a role where you can lead a team, take ownership, and play a key role in a fast-moving retail business, we’d love to hear from you.
