This is a rare opportunity to join a world-class finance function in a role that genuinely sits at the heart of commercial decision-making.

The Role

This is not a reporting role. As Finance Business Partner, you will be the trusted finance voice to a senior commercial leadership team - challenging, influencing and shaping strategy at Director level.

• ACA or CIMA qualified, ideally trained within a Big 4 or Top 10 firm
• Demonstrable commercial finance experience gained within a FTSE-listed business, major retailer or similarly large and complex organisation
• A true business partner - someone who influences and challenges, not just reports
• Outstanding commercial acumen with the gravitas and credibility to engage at the most senior levels
• High drive, ambition and clear upward trajectory - this is a role with exceptional career development attached to it
• Excellent communicator with the ability to simplify complexity and tell a compelling story with numbers

On Offer

Our client offers an unrivalled platform for career development, a genuinely impressive working culture and a clear path into senior leadership. Candidates who thrive here go on to hold Head of, and/or Director positions - this is a business that invests in its people.
If you believe you meet the criteria above and are ready for a role that will genuinely challenge and accelerate your career, we would love to hear from you.
