This isn't a tidy transformation where everything's already been decided. This is a live carve-out of a specialist division from a large business - and they need someone who can step in, shape the plan, and deliver it. The model isn't finalised. The detail isn't fully worked through. There are regulatory layers, tax complexities, and operational unknowns. That's exactly why this role exists.
You'll work directly with the FD, Financial Controller, and Head of Design to take this from a concept to a fully functioning standalone entity inside five months.
- You'll own the carve-out end to end - from figuring it out through to making it work.
- Leading the setup of a new legal entity, including Companies House and HMRC requirements.
- Working with divisional leaders to unpick how the business operates today and define what needs to change.
- Ensuring ongoing financial and regulatory compliance from day one.
- Managing and coordinating external advisors (tax, legal, payroll).
