If you're ambitious and you want to move fast, this is worth a read.

You might currently be working as a Finance Business Partner or in FP&A and feel ready for a bigger role.

Full P&L ownership. A broader commercial remit. More visibility with senior leadership. And the opportunity to lead and develop two Finance Business Partners.

This is a place where ambitious finance professionals genuinely move upward. Quickly. We're talking 12 to 18 months in most cases.

We’re working on a confidential Head of Finance search for a well known listed business in Leicester. You don’t need to have held the Head of Finance title before. This is aimed at someone ambitious who has built solid experience in commercial finance or FP&A and is ready to take the next step.

You’ll take ownership of the financial performance of a major part of the group, working closely with senior commercial and operational stakeholders to understand performance, challenge decisions and influence what happens next.

You’ll lead the budgeting and forecasting cycle, assess investment decisions and make sure the business has the insight it needs to improve performance. You’ll also manage two Finance Business Partners, giving you the chance to build your leadership experience while taking on a much broader remit.

It’s a proper step up role. A bigger team, full P&L responsibility and genuine exposure across a large listed business.

The company has a good track record of developing its people, with realistic scope for further progression for someone who performs well.
