We are working with our client to recruit an experienced Finance Manager to join their dynamic and forward-thinking team on a part-time maternity cover basis. This role will commence with a handover period from August to mid-October, ahead of the maternity leave beginning in October 2025. The hours can be flexible but three days a week is preferred.
This is a Leeds office-based position, offering a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal finance leadership role within a purpose-driven and uniquely structured business.
This isn’t your typical finance role — and our client isn’t your typical company. As such, you’ll be operating within a bespoke financial structure, including managing shareholder loans and overseeing annual share issuance.
