The Opportunity
As Finance Director, you will be the Company’s lead financial officer, responsible for ensuring robust financial systems, governance, and reporting across the group. You’ll be a key member of the leadership team — challenging the way the business works, driving commercial insight, and supporting the growth of new business streams.

Provide financial modelling for M&A and investment opportunities
Act as Company Secretary for the business and subsidiaries
Lead and develop the finance team as the function evolves
Champion a zero‑harm, “right first time” culture throughout the organisation
What You Bring
We’re looking for a highly credible, commercially minded finance leader who can operate with pace, influence, and integrity:
Degree‑educated with at least 5 years’ experience in finance leadership in a business of similar scale or growth stage
Strong commercial acumen and hands‑on approach
Experience with financial modelling for projects and business cases
Comfortable engaging with banks, lenders, lawyers, and senior stakeholders
Ideally experienced in utilities or renewable energy (helpful, not essential)
Proven ability to influence, develop, and inspire a small finance team
Resilient, persistent, and able to drive improvements with limited support
Experience of working within a small but complex business is essential along with proven stakeholder management experience and extensive project development and delivery is essential.
