Head of Strategic Finance Full Time NEW

Head of Strategic Finance

£95,000 to £120,000 + Exceptional Benefits + Flexible Working

South London, easily commutable from Kingston, Clapham and Vauxhall

This is one of those rare, career-defining roles. Not many come up like this.

We’re working with one of the most innovative, consumer-led brands globally. Fast growth, constant change, and a business that genuinely invests in commercial finance.

This role sits right at the centre of it.

Think proper influence. Not reporting from the sidelines.

The Role

You’ll partner directly with the CFO, CEO and exec team, helping shape strategy, challenge thinking and drive performance across the business.

This is as much about storytelling and influence as it is numbers.

You’ll be:

• Leading business cases around new product launches, investments and strategic initiatives
• Supporting brand and marketing teams with commercial insight and performance analysis
• Owning FP&A, planning cycles and forward-looking strategic modelling
• Driving decision-making through clear, actionable insight, not just reporting
• Playing a key role in investor relations and board-level communication
• Operating in a PLC-style environment with exposure to senior stakeholders and external narratives
• Building relationships across the business, challenging and supporting in equal measure

You’ll be expected to have a view. And be comfortable backing it.

What they’re looking for

• Qualified Accountant (ACA, CIMA or equivalent)
• Strong commercial finance and FP&A background
• Experience working in a fast-paced, consumer-focused business
• Confident influencing senior stakeholders, including board-level
• Strong modelling skills, with Excel and Power BI
• Naturally curious, commercially sharp and comfortable challenging the status quo

The bigger picture

This role is very much on a CFO pathway.

You’ll be working closely with an exceptional CFO, getting exposure to strategy, investor relations and high-level decision-making early.

If you want to step out of “just finance” and into real business leadership, this is that move.
