European Growth & Commercial Strategy Director - Accountancy

There\'s a rare chance here to step into a genuinely influential European role and shape how a growing, private equity-backed Accountancy firm drives organic growth across borders. This is a senior, group-level position offering real autonomy, visibility, and the backing to actually get things done. The role operates on a hybrid basis, with flexibility around location, including London.

As European Growth & Commercial Strategy Director, you\'ll sit at the centre of a pan-European platform made up of established firms with strong local identities and increasingly international client bases. Your remit is to design and embed a coherent growth strategy across multiple countries, while respecting what already works locally.

This is not a theoretical strategy role. It\'s about turning collaboration into revenue, improving commercial capability, and helping senior stakeholders work better together. You\'ll play a key role in shaping how this professional services group presents itself to the European mid-market, with London acting as one of the main coordination points.

What you\'ll be doing

• Designing and rolling out an organic growth strategy across countries and service lines
• Acting as the central link between country-level business development leaders
• Enabling cross-border opportunities through joined-up propositions and coordinated go-to-market activity
• Improving commercial capability across the group, including tools, data, and methodologies
• Supporting and developing senior business development leadership talent
• Bringing clarity to pipeline, performance, and progress through consistent reporting
• Building a collaborative, delivery-focused commercial culture across the group

What we\'re looking for

• Senior experience leading growth or commercial strategy within professional services, consulting, or advisory environments
• A strong track record in international, multi-entity organisations with complex stakeholders
• Experience in private equity-backed or fast-growth settings
• A pragmatic style that balances strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
• Credibility with senior partners and leadership teams across different countries
• Excellent communication skills and comfort operating internationally
• Fluent English is essential; additional European languages are useful

What\'s on offer

• Salary range of £120,000 to £140,000 plus bonus and benefits
• Hybrid working with flexibility around base location, including London
• A genuinely influential role within a growing European professional services platform
• Exposure to private equity, senior leadership, and international strategy
• Regular European travel, planned sensibly rather than performatively

For someone who enjoys operating at group level and turning ambition into measurable growth, the European Growth & Commercial Strategy Director role offers a level of influence you don\'t often see, without the theatre. Confidential conversations welcomed.
