Job Description
Group Finance Director Leicester based (Hybrid with UK-wide travel) £100,000 – £125,000 package
We are partnering with a high-growth, acquisitive UK group to appoint a commercially driven Group Finance Director. This is a pivotal leadership role at the centre of an ambitious expansion strategy, offering real influence at Board level and the opportunity to shape the future of a scaling business.
This is not a steady-state finance role. It is a career-defining opportunity for an individual who thrives in a fast-paced, deal-led environment and wants to play a leading role in building a group through acquisition and strategic growth.
The Opportunity
The business is entering a significant phase of expansion, with a clear focus on acquiring and integrating businesses across the UK. As Group Finance Director, you will act as a strategic partner to the executive team, leading on financial direction, supporting M&A activity, and ensuring the infrastructure is in place to scale effectively.
You will be highly visible across the organisation, presenting to senior stakeholders, influencing key decisions, and driving performance through strong financial leadership.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead the development and execution of the group’s financial strategy, aligned to ambitious growth plans
* Take ownership of the full M&A lifecycle, from evaluation and due diligence through to integration and value creation
* Deliver clear, insightful financial reporting to support decision making at Board and investor level
* Ensure robust cashflow management to underpin both day-to-day operations and ongoing acquisitions
* Build, lead and develop a high-performing finance function capable of supporting a scaling group
What We’re Looking For
* A proven finance leader with experience operating at Director or Group level
* Strong track record in M&A environments, ideally within multi-entity or acquisitive businesses
* Commercially astute, able to influence strategy and drive growth, not just report on it
* Confident communicator with the presence and credibility to present at Board level
* A hands-on leader who can build teams, improve processes, and operate effectively in a changing environment
Why This Role Stands Out
This is a genuine opportunity to step into a role where you can make a visible impact. You will be at the heart of a growth journey, working closely with senior leadership and playing a key role in shaping the future of the business.
For the right individual, this offers a rare combination of strategic influence, deal exposure, and long-term career progression within a dynamic and ambitious group. For more information hit apply or reach out for a confidential chat.
