***Early June 2025 Start Required***

An immediate start is required for a pivotal Head of Commercial Finance role at a values-led, purpose-driven organisation with an extensive footprint across the UK.

The Opportunity

This newly-created leadership role is designed for an ambitious finance professional who thrives in fast-paced, multi-site consumer environments. Reporting to the CFO, you'll act as a key member of the senior leadership team - driving financial performance, commercial insight and operational decision-making.

You'll lead a large talented team, spanning business partnering, forecasting, reporting and analytics. You'll not only shape the financial direction of the organisation but also play a central role in influencing its future - with succession potential to the CFO role in the coming years.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading a large team within Commercial Finance, and leading by example.
• Business partner with senior leaders across the organisation to drive performance, accountability and strategic planning.
• Lead all aspects of forecasting, planning, budgeting and performance reporting.
• Simplify and enhance reporting and KPI frameworks to improve insight, speed and accuracy in decision making.
• Create a strong, capable and engaged finance team that operates as a true partner to the business.
• Support long-term strategic goals, sustainability investment decisions and ROI tracking.
• Improve commercial awareness across the leadership team and influence at Board level.

What We're Looking For

• A qualified, senior finance professional with significant experience in FP&A and commercial finance roles.
• Proven track record in a multi-site, consumer-led environment (retail, leisure, hospitality, etc).
• An inspirational leader who can develop high-performing teams and influence at all levels.
• Strategic, hands-on, agile and commercially focused.
• A collaborative team player who brings pace, drive, and a sense of purpose.

Why Apply

This is more than a finance leadership role - it's a chance to influence an organisation committed to its communities and members, while developing your own career in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
