We’re partnering with a US-owned, private equity-backed global manufacturing group experiencing sustained, double-digit growth through a combination of organic product development and strategic acquisitions. With £200m+ turnover and operations spanning Europe, this business is a recognised leader in its field and is entering its next exciting phase of growth.
They are now looking to appoint a Head of FP&A - a highly visible, commercially minded finance leader who will act as the gateway to insight for the executive team and play a central role in shaping strategic decision-making across the group.
The Role
Reporting directly to the VP Finance, this is a senior leadership position with direct exposure to the CEO and CFO and a clear progression path toward Director level.
You will lead the FP&A function and act as a strategic business partner to six Regional General Managers across Europe, ensuring financial insight drives performance, investment decisions, and long-term growth. The role can be based out of UK or European operational sites.

*Leading and developing a high-performing, fully remote FP&A team
*Owning the annual budget, forecasts and reporting of actuals across all region
*Developing and implementing advanced analytical and forecasting models, focused on key sales and operational drivers
*This role goes well beyond reporting - it’s about insight, influence and impact
