Head of Finance in Nottingham

Job description

If you’re after a Head of Finance role where you get the breadth, impact and influence you’d find in a large group — but with the pace, visibility and autonomy of an SME — this one’s well worth a look.

The business sits in that sweet spot: global scale, investment, multi-entity complexity… but a UK team that’s small enough for you to genuinely shape how things are done. They’re on a clear growth plan following recent investment and are putting finance at the centre of that journey.

This is a newly created Head of Finance role (due to growth), partnering directly with an impressive senior leadership team. You’ll be the go-to person for everything across financial control, reporting, planning and business partnering — and you’ll have the freedom to modernise, challenge and improve things as you go.

A lot of the work ahead is project-led. You’ll play a key role in:

• Integrations following recent and future acquisitions
• Restructuring and improving processes across multiple entities
• Upgrading systems and embedding better controls
• Supporting the European business with consistent reporting, compliance and performance insight
• Driving continuous improvement across finance and operations

They’re very flexible in their approach. Hybrid working (2 days in the office), flexible hours, and a grown-up working culture where you’re trusted to manage your own time. The team is experienced, collaborative and commercially strong — you’ll be working with people who genuinely value finance as a strategic partner.

There’s also a succession plan in place. Whether your ambition is FD, senior commercial finance or something more transformation-focused, there are routes to grow.

Your Experience…

• Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA)
• Ideally experience in a multi-entity/group environment
• Background in financial control, reporting and business partnering
• Exposure to project work — new systems, integrations, process improvement, change
• Comfortable operating as the senior finance voice in the room

What’s on Offer…

• Broad, hands-on, commercially impactful role
• Salary £75,000 to £85,000 + 20% Bonus
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Hybrid working & very flexible hours
• Private medical
• Matched pension
• Real progression — clear line of sight to FD or senior commercial project roles
