Drive commercial performance across a growing multi-site retail operation
Manage cash flow, working capital, stock, margin, and profitability
Deliver meaningful financial insights to support business growth and operational improvements
Develop and enhance financial controls, systems, and reporting processes
Support expansion initiatives, including new site openings and strategic projects
Lead, mentor, and develop the finance team
Ensure robust financial governance, compliance, and risk management

About You:

We are seeking a commercially minded finance professional with a strong background within retail or a consumer product-led environments, and a genuine passion for driving business performance.

You will ideally possess:

A recognised accounting qualification – ACA/ACCA/CIMA
Experience operating at Finance Director, Head of Finance, or Commercial Financial Controller level
A proven track record within a multi-site environment – preferably in a retail environment
Experience working within product-led environments where stock, margin, and cash flow management are critical
Strong commercial acumen with the ability to influence and challenge senior stakeholders
Experience supporting business growth, expansion projects, and operational development
Strong financial planning, forecasting, and analytical capabilities
Sage experience and strong financial systems knowledge
Excellent leadership skills with experience developing high-performing finance teams
A hands-on approach combined with strategic thinking and commercial awareness

Why Apply?:

Join a highly ambitious and growing retail business
Work directly alongside an entrepreneurial Managing Director
Play a key role in shaping the future direction of the organisation
Highly visible position with genuine influence across the business
Opportunity to leave a lasting impact and drive meaningful change

If you're a commercially driven finance leader with multi-site retail experience and are looking for a role where you can genuinely make your mark, we'd be delighted to hear from you
