Location: Wetherby, West Yorkshire
Salary: £100,000 - £130,000 + bonus + benefits
Working pattern: Full-time, 5 days per week office based (flex on start and finish times but no days per week)
Reporting to: Managing Director
The business is profitable, ambitious and investing for the future. Finance now needs a leader who can build the frameworks, reporting, processes and insight that will support the next stage of growth.
You'll work directly alongside a commercially minded and highly driven Managing Director, helping shape business decisions, improving financial visibility and building a finance function capable of supporting the next stage of growth. The systems, structures and disciplines you put in place won't just support next year's plans, they'll help define how the business operates for years to come.
The business has already established a strong position within its market and continues to grow. Finance now needs a leader who can combine commercial thinking with operational credibility, helping the business make better decisions, improve reporting, strengthen controls and support future expansion.
The Opportunity
This role offers something many Finance Director positions don't. The platform is there, the business is growing, the leadership team is engaged, and there is real appetite to invest in systems, technology and improvement. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to shape how finance operates for years to come.
