Senior Finance Manager

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
