We’re supporting a long-established, market-leading organisation through a period of exciting financial and operational modernisation. As part of this evolution, we’re recruiting a Head of FP&A to lead the planning, insight and commercial decision-support function for the business.

This is a newly shaped role with significant influence. Working closely with the Finance Director and wider SLT, you’ll create a forward-looking FP&A capability that strengthens strategy, improves clarity, and ensures the organisation is equipped to make confident, data-driven decisions.

The Opportunity

As Head of FP&A, you will become the organisation’s financial compass shaping budgets, forecasts and longer-term plans, while elevating how performance is understood and acted upon. This role suits a commercially minded finance leader who enjoys partnering with operational teams, simplifying complexity, and bringing a modern, analytical edge to a business.

You’ll lead a small, growing team, develop dashboards and analytical tools, improve processes, and build a best-in-class modelling environment. Above all, you’ll provide the insight that helps leadership make better strategic choices.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Owning the budgeting cycle, rolling forecasts and long-range planning

  • Building driver-based financial models that support commercial decisions

  • Producing clear, insight-led analysis on performance, margin, revenue and cost drivers

  • Partnering with senior leaders across operations, trading, e-commerce and logistics

  • Presenting forward-looking insights to the Finance Director and Board

  • Leading financial scenario modelling (including sensitivity, investment and project evaluation)

  • Developing KPI frameworks and dashboards to strengthen visibility of business performance

  • Modernising FP&A processes, improving tools and enabling greater automation

  • Supporting strategic initiatives and contributing to the business’s growth agenda

What You Bring

  • Significant experience in FP&A leadership within a complex, multi-stakeholder environment

  • A professional finance qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)

  • Proven capability in budgeting, forecasting, modelling and commercial analysis

  • Strong business partnering skills, with the confidence to influence senior decision-makers

  • A continuous-improvement mindset and a desire to elevate financial insight across the organisation

  • Advanced Excel and experience with ERP/BI reporting tools

  • An engaging communication style able to turn analysis into clarity and action

Why This Role?

  • A visible, impactful leadership position

  • An organisation with strong values, financial stability and a clear sense of purpose

  • Hybrid working with an established, supportive SLT

  • The chance to modernise FP&A and build something lasting

  • A role that blends strategy, insight, collaboration and genuine influence
