Job description

Be the Architect of FP&A in a Global Business Set to Disrupt the Market

Commercial Finance Lead | £85,000–£95,000 + 25% Bonus + Private Medical + Matched Pension | Hybrid (Nottingham HQ)

IPO-bound. PE-backed. Scaling fast. This is the opportunity to build something big from the ground up.

This isn’t your standard FP&A role—it’s a launchpad. A blank canvas in a business where finance is embedded into every decision and the cadence is intense. Backed by one of the world’s most respected PE houses, they’re growing fast with major international expansion, M&A activity, and IPO-readiness already well underway.

And now they’re looking for someone with spark. A commercially sharp, technically curious finance lead who’s ready to build, challenge, and transform—not just report.

Why this one stands out :

You’ll own FP&A across the group’s highest-growth division , playing a lead role in how the business sets strategy and makes decisions

It’s a true  transformation agent role —the aim is to make yourself redundant in 12–18 months by building something scalable and self-sufficient

You’ll be seen, heard, and challenged— working directly with the CEO (who used to be CFO) and senior leadership  to influence what happens next

The finance team is  deeply integrated , data-led, and well-regarded across the business. This isn’t siloed FP&A—this is central to performance

They’re serious about innovation :   AI-enabled modelling, SQL-based forecasting, and tech automation  are part of their DNA

What they’re looking for :

ACA or MBA-qualified with strong academics—someone who can  hold their own with commercial leaders

Hands-on experience in a fast-paced, high-growth environment— you’re not just a reporter, you’re a builder

Sharp, curious, and ambitious : a  natural change agent  who wants to challenge the norm and push boundaries

Comfortable engaging with data at source— advanced excel or similar  skills to automate, model, and surface insight

A confident communicator who can simplify complexity, bring structure, and help define what ‘great’ looks like

Not your average corporate gig :

This team is sharp, fast-moving, and energised. The CEO wants someone with ambition—someone he’ll have to  hold back , not push forward. You won’t be boxed in. You’ll be expected to ask questions, break things, improve them, and leave a legacy. You’ll be given the space to grow—but the bar is high, and the business cadence is higher.

If you’re currently the number two in a high-growth ...
