Group Financial Controller

Communicate have recently partnered with a FTSE 250 Oil & Gas business, to place their Group FC. The reason for bringing in this individual is part of a much bigger plan to expand the business.

The company has seen some vast organic growth over the last few years, but moving forward their growth plans are aimed more within the acquisitive space. The business has operations across the UK/Americas/Africa/Europe, so we are looking for an individual who is open to travel in their role and has ideally seen companies through periods of aggressive growth before.

The role itself goes beyond the technical aspects of the finance function and has a much broader remit. You will be getting involved in business partnering and working closely with the Group CFO to build out a first class finance function.

With a turnover in excess of £1bn, this is an exciting opportunity based in London to join a highly skilled and incredibly impressive team.

We are looking for an experienced FC who comes from a background in ‘heavy sector’ businesses (O&G/Manufacturing/Mining/Construction etc.) and possesses the gravitas to hit the ground running.

Our client is looking to interview in June, with an aim for the chosen candidate to start in the following months.

Qualifications / Experience Required:

• ACA/CIMA qualified with significant PQE
• A background in the heavy sector space
• Exposure to high growth businesses (previous experience of dealing with acquisitions will be highly desirable)
• Prior experience within large listed businesses/blue-chips, with global operations
