Finance Director
VC-Backed FMCG Business (Food Manufacturing)
Location: Central London (Zone 2)
Salary: £100,000
A fast-growing, VC-backed FMCG business in the food manufacturing space, based in Central London (Zone 2), is looking to hire a commercially minded Finance Director to join its leadership team. With a strong brand already gaining traction and an ambitious growth strategy in place, this is a fantastic opportunity to help shape the next stage of the company’s journey.
Reporting directly to the CEO and working closely with investors, the Finance Director will lead the finance function and act as a key strategic partner across the business. This is a hands-on role, suited to someone who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment and is comfortable rolling up their sleeves to build robust financial foundations while supporting growth.
The remit is broad, covering all aspects of financial planning, reporting, and analysis, as well as business partnering, cash flow and working capital management, and investor communications. The Finance Director will also play a critical role in future fundraising activity (both equity and debt), and in building out the finance team and systems as the business scales.
The ideal candidate will be ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified with strong post-qualified experience. A background in FMCG, and ideally food manufacturing, is highly desirable, and prior exposure to a VC or private equity-backed environment would be beneficial but not essential. You’ll need to be commercially astute, proactive, and comfortable influencing at board level.
This is a high-impact, senior leadership role offering the chance to be part of a dynamic, purpose-driven team. It’s an excellent opportunity for someone looking to make a real difference in a business with realistic and exciting plans.
