The Opportunity

We are supporting a well-established FMCG business to find a Finance Director at a pivotal moment in their evolution. Following a period of growth the business is looking to accelerate a shift in what finance means to the organisation.

The business has strong foundations in governance and reporting; what it needs now is a leader who can harness data and management information to drive commercial performance, efficiency and P&L optimisation across the organisation.

The Role

Reporting to the Managing Director and sitting on the Leadership Team, the Finance Director will be a genuine business partner to the most senior stakeholders in the business. You will lead a finance team spanning two sites, with 2 direct reports.

• Transform finance from a reporting function to a driver of commercial insight
• Lead and develop a high-performing, people-focused finance team across two sites
• Partner closely with the MD, Commercial Director and Procurement Director
• Own P&L optimisation and efficiency programmes across the business
• Drive adoption of data and MI tools to support strategic decision-making

What We're Looking For

• Qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) with a strong FP&A or commercial finance background
• Experience operating at or near Finance Director level in a complex, operationally intensive business
• Demonstrable ability to use data and business intelligence to influence commercial outcomes
• A leader who is commercially sharp but genuinely invested in the development of their team
• FMCG, food manufacturing, or similar sector experience advantageous but not essential
