Job Description:
Finance Director | High-Growth D2C Retailer
London | Hybrid
We’re exclusively partnered with a disruptive, design-led D2C retail brand that’s rapidly scaling in the UK and beyond. With a loyal customer base, high repeat revenue, and backing from top-tier investors, they’ve built a powerful platform primed for the next phase of growth.
As Finance Director, you’ll report directly into the Founder and take full ownership of the finance function; strategically and operationally. You’ll be joining at a pivotal point in their journey, helping to shape decision-making at board level while leading and developing an exceptional finance team across all levels.
What you’ll be doing:
* Act as a trusted advisor to the Founder and leadership team on all financial and commercial matters
* Lead the finance function, ensuring timely and accurate reporting, compliance, and controls
* Own company-wide budgeting, forecasting, and cash flow management
* Drive margin improvement and cost efficiency across the P&L
* Prepare board packs, investor reports, and support ongoing fundraising activity
* Oversee day-to-day finance operations, including management accounts and financial reporting
* Build and develop a high-performing team, creating structure as the business scales
* Implement systems, processes, and controls to support rapid and sustainable growth
What we’re looking for:
* ACA/ACCA/CIMA qualified, with post-qualification experience in a fast-paced consumer or retail environment
* Proven experience leading a finance team through high-growth
* Strong commercial acumen, with the ability to influence non-finance stakeholders
* Hands-on and strategic, equally comfortable in the detail and at board level
* D2C, eCommerce or retail sector experience strongly preferred
