Our client is the UK arm of a well known, luxury consumer brands company. This omni-channel player is achieving double-digit growth fuelled by successive years of strong product innovation, radical transformation of its supply chain capabilities and significant investment in digital brand and marketing strategies.
As the incumbent Head of FP&A begins their maternity leave; we are seeking a talented finance leader to take over the management and development of these strategic finance capabilities on a 6-9 months contract basis. Ably supported by an FP&A team (3 direct reports) you will lead the in-year forecasting and long-range financial planning calendar as well as supporting across all commercial and strategic investment decisions.
Whilst you will already thrive when operating at Board level and partnering with CEO, CFO, COO as well as all Brand, Marketing and Sales Department Heads; you will also be hands-on and willing to get stuck into the detail alongside your team. This 6-9 months contract is definitely not a caretaker role. We are seeking an individual who will bring fresh perspectives and new ways of working combined with exceptional data analysis capabilities. Recent and deep experience gained in the Consumer Products/Retail/Luxury Retail / Fashion sectors is essential.
