Leeds based
About the Opportunity
We are running a retained confidential search on behalf of a large private equity backed business entering an ambitious, well-funded period of growth. This is a newly created Divisional Finance Director role, built specifically to give a strong, technically capable finance professional a genuine first opportunity to operate at Finance Director level, with real substance behind the title.
This is not a watered down first step. The successful candidate will report directly to the Chief Financial Officer, sit on the senior finance team, and take on real Board exposure, involvement in corporate transactions, and responsibility for leading and developing a growing finance function.
The Role
- Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, with genuine visibility at Board level.
- Leading and developing a divisional finance team, with full ownership of financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management within the division.
- Playing an active role in corporate transactions, including due diligence support as the business continues to attract investor interest.
- Business partnering with senior operational leaders, providing commercial insight and holding budget owners to account.
- Working closely with the Group finance function on monthly and quarterly reporting, including reporting to the private equity investor.
What We Are Looking For
- ACA, CIMA, or ACCA qualified, with a strong and consistent record of career progression to date.
- Experience of, or a genuine desire to work within, an entrepreneurial and private equity backed environment.
- Ideally, exposure to at least one sizeable due diligence process.
- Strong technical accounting competency alongside genuine commercial and analytical ability.
- Proven team management and leadership experience.
- Comfortable operating in a collegiate, open, and meritocratic environment.
