Head of Finance | B Corp Challenger Snacks Brand London (hybrid, 3 days) Become the first senior finance hire at a profitable, founder-led snacks brand that has doubled in 2 years - and own the numbers through its next stage of growth.
I'm partnering with one of the most exciting challenger brands in UK snacking to recruit their newly-created Head of Finance.
Founder-led, B Corp certified, profitable, and revenue has doubled in 2 years.
They make high protein products made from British ingredients - working only with suppliers that adhere to high-welfare, regenerative standards.
Health and sustainability are the 2 of the biggest tailwinds in food and they’re an innovative category leader that ticks both boxes.
Finance has been run by a highly-experienced fractional FD who isn’t stepping away entirely, so you inherit real foundations and have support and a handover - but a clear pathway to becoming a fully fledged FD yourself.
What you'd get out of the role Exposure to founders and a say in the decision making Pathway to Finance Director (and beyond) Broad role with a commercial remit (genuine business partnering) To shape the finance function of one of the UK's fastest growing snacks brands What you'll do Own the P&L of a business that makes what it sells
- Manufacturing is in-house.
You'll own COGS, margin and the operational drivers behind them, getting closer to how the product actually makes money than most Head of Finance seats allow.
This is emphatically not a solely back-office role.
- Cash, control and reporting
- You'll run working capital through a fast-growth phase and build the reporting the founders and their advisory board rely on to steer. Commercial and investor-facing work
- Pricing, retail growth decisions and supporting the founders on cap table and investor matters and future fundraising as the business scales. Financial Reporting
- own financial reporting processes for the business You'd be the first full-time senior finance hire, so the function grows underneath you.
And your role will grow as the business scales.
What you'll need Fully qualified accountant Finance experience in a fast-growing product business - food and drink is ideal, but wider FMCG or consumer could work Comfort with cost accounting and cash management in a manufacturing or stock-holding environment Strong financial modelling skills, comforatable building from scratch (3 statement models) About the company A British snacks brand that has gone from start-up to a profitable, category-driving business in a few short years, with expanding retail distribution and an advisory board of proven consumer operators behind it.
Sustainability runs through the whole model, from farm sourcing to B Corp certification – so it’s growth you can feel good about! #J-18808-Ljbffr
