Commercial Finance Director £125k-£140k + bonus Nottingham Hybrid (2 days in office) This is a Commercial Finance Director role with real strategic influence, sitting at the heart of a highly successful services business You'll own the P&L in full. Shape pricing strategy across the business. Be a trusted advisor to the executive team and board. The kind of role where your financial thinking actually drives decisions. You'll take responsibility for all revenue, costs, margins and profitability. Lead the budgeting and forecasting cycles, identify the financial drivers that matter, and make sure the business has transparent, accessible reporting it can actually use. You'll own pricing strategy - all of it. Policy, tender pricing, alternative pricing models, control of value leakage. Drive margin improvement and embed a real culture of commercial accountability across the teams. You'll manage a team of around ten across FP&A and business partnering, working on a genuinely exciting agenda - a big shift in how the business approaches pricing, real growth plans both organically and through M&A, and plenty to get stuck into. This is a highly successful, financially stable business. Cash generative, with a strong track record and a clear, ambitious plan for what comes next. The kind of platform that gives a Commercial Finance Director real room to make an impact. And the culture? This is a place people actually stay. Genuinely low attrition, real tenure, and a culture that backs it up. Down to earth, collaborative, and the kind of environment where people are set up to succeed. No ivory towers - you'll need to be as comfortable in the detail as you are in the boardroom. In the words of someone already in the business: "The best work-life balance I've ever experienced." What we're looking for: A qualified accountant - ACA, ACCA or CIMA - with significant post-qualification experience leading a sizeable commercial finance function. You'll have owned a P&L, led FP&A and business partnering teams, and know how to make complex financial information land with non-finance audiences up to board level. Equally comfortable in the detail and in the room where the big decisions get made. Someone who challenges the business, not just reports on it. You'll also bring real pricing experience - whether that's owning or shaping pricing strategy, working on tender or contract pricing, or driving margin improvement through pricing discipline. This is central to the role, so comfort with pricing models, value leakage and commercial accountability matters. If you've been involved in M&A activity - whether that's financial due diligence, integration work, or modelling acquisitions - that's a real bonus here given the growth agenda ahead. Experience from a services, technology, professional services or financial services background. The package: £125k-£140k base, achievable bonus, 43 days holiday, 35-hour week, private medical and more. Based in Nottingham, hybrid. Interested? Drop me a message.

FCA Financial Services Consumer Panel Vacancies for Panel Members An exciting opportunity has arisen for high performing individuals with expertise in financial services and consumer policy to join the Financial Services Consumer Panel (the Panel). About the FCA The Financial Conduct Authority is the conduct regulator for nearly 42,000 financial services firms and financial markets in the UK and the prudential supervisor for 41,000 firms, setting specific standards for 17,000 firms. The FCA's strategic objective is to make sure relevant markets function well and has outlined how it will achieve this in its 5-year strategy . Its operational objectives are to protect consumers, protect the integrity of the UK financial system and to promote effective competition in the interests of consumers. It also has a secondary objective to facilitate the international competitiveness and growth of the UK economy in the medium to long term. The role of the Panel The Panel is established under statute and is independent of the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It represents the interests of consumers of financial services (including small business consumers) to the FCA. Its vision is for financial services markets to work well for consumers. Its role is to ensure that the consumer interest is considered as part of the FCA's policy development and implementation. Panel members offer constructive advice and challenge to help the FCA deliver its strategic and operational objectives throughout the policy cycle. They engage with the FCA at all levels, including the Chair, CEO and Executive Committee, to help shape the regulator's policies, rules and responses to live issues that impact financial services consumers. The Panel is supported by a Secretariat provided by the FCA. Membership of the Panel is made by individual appointment. Panel members do not represent any one organisation or business. Further details about the Panel's work and its current membership can be found on the Panel's website . The roles The FCA is looking to appoint two new members to replace outgoing Panel members. Successful candidates will be able to demonstrate significant expertise and experience in one or more of the following areas: Consumer engagement and behavioural insights Innovation, technology and AI Fintech and digital markets Retail banking Investment Payments Academic research The roles require an affinity with the interests and concerns of consumers from across all socio-economic and demographic backgrounds and small businesses, and the ability to analyse new initiatives and policy across the breadth of the FCA's activities from the consumer perspective. In addition, they should be able to demonstrate: A strong interest in, or track record of representing the interests of consumers from across society, including those with vulnerable characteristics Demonstrable experience of policy development in financial services, with a track record of providing advice or constructive challenge to senior officials A sound understanding of the FCA's role and objectives and the impact of FCA policy and regulation on financial services and, by extension, on consumers, and the ability to quickly grasp a wide range of complex financial issues. Self-motivated and able to independently manage and prioritise their workload and time effectively. Strong analytical and drafting skills and the ability to engage, collaborate and communicate effectively with FCA and other stakeholders at all levels, including at Board and Executive Committee level. A commitment to diversity and inclusion and to reflecting the diversity of consumers' lives. The ability to act in an independent advisory capacity and to respect the confidential nature of discussions. We would also welcome candidates from the devolved nations with an understanding of how these devolved powers impact policies, public services and consumers. We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer , and therefore, people or individuals with disabilities and long-term conditions who best meet the criteria for a role will go through to the next stage of the recruitment process. In cases of high application volumes we may progress applicants whose experience most closely matches the role's key requirements. (To learn more about the Disability Confident Scheme Click Here ) Members are expected to attend twice-monthly formal Panel meetings (normally held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, except in August) and other ad hoc meetings to discuss specific issues. Meetings include in-person meetings at the FCA's offices in Stratford and on-line. Members should maintain expertise in a particular subject area, develop relevant networks and be accountable for leading on consultation responses and discussions on issues relating to that area, representing the Panel within the FCA and contributing to projects and the Panel's forward agenda. Appointments are made by the FCA Board, usually for a term of three years. Successful candidates should expect to commit to no fewer than 35 days per annum and will be eligible for a fee of £16,500 per annum. Additional Information All applicants are required to demonstrate that they do not have other interests likely to conflict with their responsibilities as an appointment by the FCA. Any potential conflict of interest should be declared as early as possible in the selection process. As such, these positions are not suitable for those who are currently employed in FCA regulated firms, the financial regulatory family or consumer lobbying organisations. Candidates should also be aware that legislation prohibits Panel members from receiving other remuneration from the FCA, the PSR, HMT, the PRA, or the Bank of England, including for other paid panels, advice, or consultancy work. All Panel members are expected to read and comply with the Panels' Conflict of Interests Policy and declare to the Panel Secretariat any interests/relationships that may give rise to any actual or potential conflicts of interest. With this in mind, candidates are reminded of the Seven Principles of Public Life: selflessness, objectivity, integrity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership (more information can be found here). Due diligence Candidates undergo several rounds of thorough due diligence throughout the entirety of the selection process.
