My client is a listed, world renowned specialist industrial group with a reputation for product innovation, technical excellence and outstanding customer service. The group is a main player in a number of different markets and has a strong global focus.
Changing markets and new growth opportunities have led to the need to strategically realign the business and as a result the group is looking to strengthen its leadership team with the appointment of a high calibre finance professional.
Working alongside the Chief Executive and as a member of the board, this role will act as a key business partner. With operations in the US, Europe and the Far East, the focus will major on executing a number of critical strategic change initiatives designed to improve operational efficiency and to achieve the ambitious growth plans that are in place.
Key elements of the position will include delivering on several key projects across the business, supporting commercial decision making and steering acquisitions and disposals. In addition to managing external relationships and the normal statutory requirements, liaising with the City, maintaining investor relations and potentially raising finance will be important elements.
You should be a professionally qualified accountant with a background in a manufacturing or FMCG environment. A strong operational bias, demonstrable experience of international business together with the motivation to drive change in a team environment are key attributes. Previous experience of the financial management of a listed company would be beneficial although not essential.
This represents a great opportunity to play a major part in the transformation and continued success of the group.
Please write with your current cv, stating your current salary and explaining why you have the leadership skills to succeed in this role, quoting reference JLW 30207.
