Head of FP&A

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.

Key responsibilities include:

• Acting as the primary strategic finance partner to the executive team, translating complex data into clear, actionable insight – telling the story behind the numbers to influence strategy, investment and performance
• Supporting commercial and operational decision-making across a diverse, international manufacturing footprint
• Partnering effectively with cross-functional leaders across operations, sales and supply chain
• 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

About You

You are a seasoned FP&A leader with extensive post-qualification experience gained in a complex, international manufacturing environment. You’re comfortable operating at executive level, influencing senior stakeholders, and working at pace in a dynamic, PE-backed setting.

You will bring:

• Proven experience leading FP&A within a multi-site, international organisation
• Confidence partnering with senior executives and shaping strategic decisions, not just informing them
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to turn data into strategic insight
• A track record of building robust frameworks for data collection, analysis and presentation
• A flexible, agile mindset – proactive, solutions-focused and comfortable with change
• Demonstrated experience leading and developing teams, ideally in a remote or hybrid environment

Why Join?

• Join a market-leading, high-growth international group backed by US private equity
• Work in a fully remote role, within a genuinely flexible and trust-based culture
• High-visibility position with direct access to the executive team
• Opportunity to shape and mature a critical finance function during a period of growth and acquisition
• Clear progression path to Director level

If you’re looking for a senior FP&A role where you can genuinely influence strategy, partner at exec level, and help drive the next stage of growth, this is a standout opportunity.
