Collaborate closely with FP&A and wider business stakeholders to support budgeting, forecasting and business performance

What we’re looking for

You’re an experienced finance leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and enjoys building strong, scalable finance operations.

You’re equally comfortable leading people, improving processes and getting into the detail when needed. You combine strong technical accounting expertise with excellent communication skills and the ability to influence stakeholders across the business.

You’ll bring:

Experience leading and developing high-performing finance teams
A proactive and hands-on leadership style with excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
ACA or ACCA qualification
Significant experience in a senior finance, financial control or controllership role within a multi-entity business
Strong technical accounting knowledge and experience operating within complex group structures
Experience owning month-end and year-end close processes to a high standard
Experience managing external audits and compliance processes
Strong commercial awareness and the ability to translate financial data into meaningful business insight
ERP system experience, such as NetSuite, Oracle or SAP
Advanced Excel skills
A strong interest in process improvement, automation and AI-enabled ways of working

It would also be great if you have:

Experience working within eCommerce, marketplace or online retail businesses
Exposure to international expansion, M&A activity or periods of significant business growth
