The role will include:

• Leading the regional finance function and team
• Partnering with the MD on business strategy, performance and new business decisions

• Challenging budgets, forecasts, CVRs, costs and cash flow
• Identifying commercial opportunities, risks and mitigation strategies
• Driving robust financial controls, governance and reporting
• Supporting optimisation of the regional landbank and site performance
• Providing financial insight to senior regional and divisional leadership

We're looking for:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Strong post-qualified experience across both commercial/business finance and financial control
• Experience leading month-end, forecasting, planning and financial reporting
• Strong commercial acumen with the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders
• Experience managing and developing a finance team
• Ideally, experience within housebuilding, construction, property or another development-led environment

This is an opportunity to join an established regional business in a high-profile leadership position, with significant exposure to strategic decision-making and the wider operation.
