Finance Director - to £130k plus benefits - Yorkshire
Our client is a market leading FTSE 250 business which has continued to grow both in the UK and mainland Europe. Delivering services and expertise to a wide-range of sectors, we are now seeking a Finance Director to drive a number of key strategic changes through their Yorkshire-based division, to align with a large scale transformation project and growth plan across the entire organisation.
The Role
Following a recent internal promotion, this business is looking to hire a Finance Director with a large company background to work very closely with the Managing Director. The successful candidate must have excellent commercial experience with a clear vision for future operational growth. The Finance Director will possess the gravitas to manage both client relationships and key internal stakeholders, as well as ensuring that the operational teams are provided with an appropriate level of financial decision support, and ultimately assisting the continued success of the business. Key areas of experience are as follows:
- Managing the relationship between finance and the operational teams across the division
- Partnering with the business change team to ensure new commercial opportunities are maximised from a financial perspective
- Leading the budgeting & forecasting process
- Overseeing the flow of management information to improve reporting and enhance the integrity of business performance data
- Supporting month and year end activities
- Reviewing business systems and BI capability
- Process interrogation and the delivery of key improvements in line with corporate reporting objectives
- Presentation of monthly performance conclusions to the Executive Management Team with a view to influencing efficiencies and optimising revenues.
This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual as an experienced Finance Director role having proved their track record in a high-growth client facing business.
The Candidate
The Finance Director we seek will have strong academics, and be a chartered or CIMA qualified accountant with first time passes. They will have a track record with successful commercial businesses and a suitably-ambitious attitude to deliver growth over the next 3-5 years. Exposure to the complexities of a listed business, and perhaps to mergers and acquisitions or other commercially focused areas of change would be highly-regarded.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join one of the UK's most diverse businesses where there will be a genuine path to further your career in a challenging yet rewarding environment. The package will comprise a salary of up to £130k per annum, pension, healthcare, and attractive bonus.
