Butler Rose is pleased to be partnering with a highly respected, influential professional organisation to appoint a Head of Financial Services to lead its financial services agenda. This role offers a genuine opportunity to influence the future of financial services, shape industry thinking and make a genuine impact.

This isn't a traditional accounting or finance leadership role. We're looking for a forward-thinking, commercially astute individual who combines strong technical knowledge with the vision, credibility and ability to influence senior stakeholders across the financial services industry.

You'll play a pivotal role in shaping strategic direction, driving thought leadership, influencing regulatory and policy discussions, and developing relationships with senior industry figures, professional firms and regulatory bodies.

Person Specification:

• ACA, ACCA or equivalent chartered qualification, with strong technical financial services expertise.
• Significant experience across Financial Services i.e. banking, insurance, investment management, professional services or oversight / membership bodies.
• A strategic thinker with the ability to translate complex technical matters into meaningful industry insight.
• Strong commercial awareness, stakeholder engagement and leadership capabilities.
• A collaborative, engaging personality with the confidence to influence at senior level and challenge conventional thinking.

This is a rare opportunity to move beyond traditional financial services leadership and help shape the wider industry's direction, combining strategic influence, technical credibility and commercial responsibility within a respected organisation.
