Job description

This high-performing Project Management consultancy is on an impressive growth trajectory, with a strong forward pipeline and an expanding portfolio of high-quality projects. Built on a clear set of principles that guide every decision, partnership and outcome, the business is committed to delivering clarity, control and confidence to its clients from day one.

They take ownership of risk, collaborate with best-in-class partners, focus relentlessly on value, and consistently deliver on their promises. This integrity and accountability have earned them a reputation for "walking the talk" and achieving smoother, faster, and more successful project outcomes.

As Head of Finance, you will step into a broad and influential leadership role with real impact across the organisation. This is far more than a traditional finance position - it is a strategic and commercially focused role at the heart of a growing business.

You will:

• Provide commercial insight across projects, contracts and key business initiatives
• Lead budgeting, forecasting and cashflow management to support sustainable growth
• Strengthen internal controls and governance frameworks
• Drive continuous improvement, systems optimisation and process efficiency
• Lead and develop a small finance team while uplifting financial literacy across the wider business

This is a hands-on leadership role where you will operate comfortably in both the detail and the bigger picture. You will partner closely with the Directors and Senior Leadership Team, acting as a trusted advisor and strategic sounding board.

You are CA qualified, technically strong, and commercially astute. You combine sound financial expertise with practical judgement and a pragmatic, solutions-focused mindset.

You bring:

• Proven experience in a senior finance leadership role
• Strong commercial acumen and confidence working alongside operational leaders
• The ability to communicate complex financial information clearly and influence at all levels
• A collaborative style and the credibility to build trusted relationships across the business

This is a compelling opportunity to join a values-led, growing organisation where you can shape the finance function, influence strategic direction, and contribute meaningfully to continued success.
