Finance Director - to £120k plus benefits - Birmingham
Our client is a market leading FTSE 100 business which has continued to grow in various sectors across the UK. Delivering services and expertise to a wide-range of complex, blue-chip organisations, we are now seeking a Finance Director to drive the success of a £240m turnover Birmingham-based division.
The Role
The Finance Director for this significant division within the Group will lead a number of transformation projects whilst managing the day-to-day finance team. Ideally with a large company background, the successful candidate must have excellent commercial experience with a clear vision for future operational growth. The Finance Director will manage both client relationships and key internal stakeholders, often leading negotiations for large-scale and business-critical contracts. In conjunction, the Finance Director will ensure 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 Commercial team to ensure new contracts and business development opportunities are maximised from a financial perspective
- Leading the budgeting & forecasting process
- Overseeing the flow of management information to improve the relationships between finance, procurement, IT and other key service delivery areas across the business
- Supporting month and year end activities
- Reviewing and challenging service level agreements and agreeing action to ensure continued delivery of objectives
- Process interrogation and the delivery of key improvements in line with corporate 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 an individual seeking visibility and challenge as the Finance Director of a division within a high-profile 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 a number of key strategic objectives over the next 3-5 years. Exposure to the complexities of a listed business, and perhaps the wider area of commercial contracts management or other service-delivery 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 £120k per annum, pension, healthcare, and attractive bonus.
