Head of Finance – Consumer Goods Industry (FMCG)
London based HQ - hybrid working
Our client is a €4.5 billion European-based global food business in search of a qualified Commercial Finance senior manager to represent the UK subsidiary at the Leadership table. The remit is simple; reporting to the MD, as ‘co-pilot’ of the business, you will own the financial agenda for a growing and profitable £60m wholly-owned subsidiary business with a portfolio of well-known chilled food brands, manufactured in both the UK and Germany.
You will step into a challenging brief, positioning you to lead a team. The ambition is to further raise standards of financial control by building ‘best in class’ disciplines that will ensure robust transparency and reporting. Beyond the day-to-day, you will also pioneer a programme of evolutionary change, enhancing current reporting systems and ways of working to realise the company’s aim for more efficient and contemporary approaches to the role of Finance across the company. This will include Revenue Growth Management (RGM) and integrated business planning tools.
As a key member of the leadership team, you’ll account for tight cost controls, accurate and timely management accounts, budgets, forecasts, provide commentary and a strategic point of view at UK Board and European Group meetings on a regular basis. You will also be responsible for compliance of all legal and tax requirements, and forex fluctuations.
A credible presence in the field of finance, most preferably knowledgeable in the food/drink industry already, ACA or ACCA qualified, and comfortable with Financial IT, you’ll also have a highly collaborative style of working. The quality of your leadership and influencing skills must be finely honed and evident.
In return, you can expect your career to go from strength to strength in a global company that manages to retain an intimate, entrepreneurial working environment and fun culture.
Looking for real ownership and empowerment? This is the role you’ve been waiting for as your step up to the Leadership table.
