Job Title: Finance Director (12-Month FTC)
Location: London (Hybrid/Office-based) 2/3 days
Salary: £130-140k
Company: Chambers London Recruitment Ltd (Representing a leading Property & Investment Group)
About the Opportunity
Chambers London is exclusively partnering with a prestigious, rapidly growing high-end property and investment group based in London. As they enter a significant phase of transformation and expansion, they are seeking a hands-on, commercially driven Finance Director on a 12-month Fixed Term Contract.
This is an ideal opportunity for an entrepreneurial finance leader who thrives in high-growth environments. While the role is initially structured as a 12-month contract, the scale of the wider group offers potential for long-term impact and visibility, should the incumbent wish to pursue permanent opportunities within the organization.
The Role
You will be the architect of financial strategy, empowering a high-performing team to deliver accurate, timely insights that drive confident decision-making. Operating in a complex, service-led environment, you will combine rigorous financial control with commercial acumen to support sustainable growth and outstanding client service.
Partnering closely with the executive team and group stakeholders, you will be responsible for shaping plans, strengthening processes, and ensuring the financial platform scales seamlessly with the business.
