We’re looking for a high-performing Head of Finance to lead the commercial and financial strategy for a £200 million business portfolio within a fast-paced, growth-focused environment.

This is a key leadership role — partnering directly with the Managing Director to drive performance, improve margins, and enable smart, scalable growth. You’ll own the numbers, lead a high-impact finance team, and ensure excellence in financial control, governance, and strategic insight.

Responsibilities

• Full P&L ownership, forecasting, and financial leadership for a £120m+ business unit
• Strategic business partnering with the MD and senior stakeholders
• Lead financial planning, risk management, and commercial analysis

• Drive contract performance, cash flow, and working capital
• Build and mentor a high-performing finance team

What I’m Looking For

• Qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA) with significant post-qual experience
• Strong commercial finance background with a proven track record of driving performance
• Exceptional business partnering and leadership skills
• Comfortable working at pace, solving problems, and influencing change
• Experience in multi-site, service-based businesses (Facilities Management or infrastructure a bonus)
• Confident using finance systems and analytics tools (SAP, Cognos, etc.)

You will have the chance to join a fast-moving organisation with big ambitions. This is your chance to shape the financial future of a major business area, influence key decisions, and play a pivotal role in long-term growth. If you're ready to step up and make a real impact I want to hear from you.
