Finance Director Designate Spalding, Lincolnshire £90,000 £110,000 + Benefits The Business This is a market-leading British business with more than three decades of heritage, operating from a world-class, purpose-built facility in Lincolnshire. It supplies some of the UK's largest retailers and has built its reputation on a genuine commitment to quality, innovation and sustainable operations. The business operates across two commercially distinct divisions. The first is established, operationally sophisticated and deeply embedded with its blue-chip retail partners - a genuine market leader in its sector. The second is where the next chapter is being written - a science-led platform with real commercial traction, developing specialist products a purpose-built, compliance-grade facility. Led by a founder-connected CEO who has been instrumental in building the business to where it is today, the company is at a genuine inflection point - strong foundations, serious infrastructure and clear ambition for what comes next. The Opportunity This is a newly structured senior finance role, created to bring greater commercial depth and strategic rigour to the finance function as the business enters its next phase of growth. Reporting directly to the CEO and with full board exposure, the Finance Director Designate will lead an established finance team and take ownership of everything from day-to-day financial management through to strategic planning, investment appraisal and stakeholder reporting. This is a genuine stepping-stone role - for the right person, the path to full FD is clear and intended. The business operates across two commercially distinct divisions, each with its own dynamics, investment profile and growth trajectory. The person coming into this role will need to get under the skin of both, and be as comfortable in a commercial conversation as a technical one. What You'll Be Responsible For Leading and developing the finance team, setting the standard for accuracy, pace and commercial thinking across the function. Owning the monthly management accounts, board reporting pack and all financial reporting obligations, ensuring the CEO and board have the quality of information they need to make good decisions. Driving the annual budgeting and forecasting process across both divisions, with a focus on meaningful variance analysis and forward-looking insight rather than retrospective reporting. Acting as the commercial finance partner to the CEO and senior leadership team - challenging assumptions, stress-testing plans and bringing financial clarity to strategic decisions. Managing relationships with the business's banking and debt partners, with a solid understanding of existing facilities and the discipline to manage covenant compliance and cash efficiently. Overseeing statutory reporting, audit, tax and compliance, working with external advisers where appropriate. Supporting the evaluation of capital investment decisions across both divisions, including business cases, returns analysis and post-investment review. What We're Looking For A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong track record at Financial Controller or Head of Finance level, ready to take the next step into a board-facing FD role. Someone who has operated in a business of genuine complexity - ideally with manufacturing, food production, life sciences, FMCG or similarly operationally intensive experience, though this is not prescriptive. A natural communicator who can translate financial complexity into clear, confident narratives for a CEO and board audience, and who is comfortable being the most senior finance voice in the room. A hands-on leader who takes pride in the quality of their team's output and invests in developing the people around them. Someone with the commercial instinct to look beyond the numbers and contribute meaningfully to strategic conversations, not just report on them. Comfortable with ambiguity and energised by a business that is actively evolving, rather than one where the path is already clearly defined. Why This Role A genuine FD designate position with a clear and credible progression path, not an indefinite holding pattern. Direct access to a founder-connected CEO who is deeply invested in the business and expects his senior team to be equally engaged. A business with real heritage, serious infrastructure and two growth platforms - one established and market-leading, one pioneering and still being built. A Lincolnshire base with a leadership team that values presence and collaboration. £90,000 £110,000 depending on experience, plus a competitive benefits package.

Government Insights Lead Overview Reporting to: Head of User Research Visa sponsorship: UK national or visa holder preferred, but not a dealbreaker. Background checks: Due to the non-partisan nature of the work we do with global governments and partners, all employees need to pass background checks, verifying your identity, education (if relevant), work history, sanctions, criminal record, adverse financial history, right to work, media and social media. You can expect to hear from us, no matter the outcome, by: 12th June Salary expectations: We aim for transparency on salary bands. If our range is misaligned with your expectations, we'd welcome an open conversation as early as possible. About Apolitical Apolitical's mission is to make governments smarter for people and the planet and we reach over 40 million public servants through our partnerships with governments globally. We are the largest global network for governments, used by 500,000+ public servants in 160 countries to find and share best practices and gain skills on critical topics from AI to climate change to emerging technologies. The Role Apolitical is looking for a data-driven researcher and storyteller: someone who looks at our unique global dataset on government skills and capability and sees stories nobody else is telling. This role turns what we know about governments into compelling narratives that open doors, support strategic accounts, and position Apolitical as a trusted partner worldwide. Sitting on the Product team within our User Research function, you will generate your own research, draw on external sources, and make use of the intelligence our team already produces, synthesising it all into external-facing thought leadership that serves our commercial and brand goals. You will work closely with Sales and Partnerships to identify priority themes and accounts, contribute to our AI-powered tools for government, and surface insights that guide our product direction. This is not a role that waits to be briefed. You will set your own research agenda, follow the intelligence wherever it leads, and know how to make it land. Who you are You are an exceptional and compelling writer, comfortable working at pace. You can produce a concise briefing for a busy government leader just as readily as a longer-form whitepaper, and you lead with the story, not the numbers. You are data-literate and AI-fluent: confident with large datasets and analytical outputs, and comfortable using AI tools as part of your research workflow. You understand government and follow AI and public sector capability debates closely. You know what senior decision-makers care about and how to reach them. You're comfortable working in a function that's still being defined and you see that as an opportunity, not a risk. Above all, you bring builder energy: you see around corners, you act on what you find, and you make things happen without waiting to be told. What you'll be doing Dive deep into Apolitical's internal data and global datasets - from the World Bank, OECD, and academic institutions - to surface insights that matter to our target accounts Shape those insights into high-quality outputs: reports, executive briefings, explainers, whitepapers, and scrollytelling content Work with Sales and Partnerships to identify the most commercially valuable research opportunities and align your agenda accordingly Contribute insights and research input to our Product team, and surface what you learn from partners and users to help guide Apolitical's product direction What you won't be doing The core of this role is monitoring, synthesis and storytelling rather than primary research. That said, there will be occasions where speaking with someone directly adds depth to what you've found in secondary sources. Designing surveys, running focus groups, or conducting large-scale quantitative and qualitative research sits with other functions in the organisation, but you may be asked to support as required. You also won't be doing traditional PR or media-facing communications work, as that's covered by others in the team. And while you'll work closely with data, you won't be building analytical models or doing data science: you'll be working with analytical outputs and knowing which questions they answer. About you This is a great fit if you Are genuinely interested in how governments work and what problems government leaders are trying to solve, and follow those debates closely Lead with the story, informed by the data: you know that a finding is only useful if someone acts on it Have a background in government, public policy, or public sector research Are comfortable using AI tools as part of your day-to-day research workflow Are comfortable working in a function that's still being defined, and see that as an opportunity rather than a risk Can move between a two-page executive briefing and a longer-form report without losing your voice or your rigour Enjoy working across functions: you'll be as comfortable in a conversation with Sales as you are synthesising an OECD dataset This likely won't be the right role if you Work best when your brief is clearly defined before you start: a significant part of this role is setting your own agenda Prefer your outputs to stand on their own merits without a commercial lens Are looking for a large, established team structure around this function. You'll be building it. Don't meet every single expectation? Studies have shown that women and people of colour are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. Apolitical is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyways. You may be just the right candidate for this or other roles. Application Process Please submit 1-3 writing samples with your application. Apolitical uses Applied in our recruitment. Applied aims to overcome unconscious bias in recruiting. Instead of using your CV alone, we'll be asking you to answer questions to test skills needed for the role. The answers are then anonymised, and reviewed in a random order by members of our team. The Applied platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application. These answers are never visible to the hiring team and don't affect your application in any way. We only see summary statistics to help us check if our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions. Using AI in your application answers At Apolitical, we embrace new technologies and encourage the use of AI in our work. However, as AI becomes more prevalent, it can be difficult to distinguish between machine-generated content and the unique perspectives of candidates. We're excited to see how you use AI tools to structure and refine your answers, but we value your unique insights above all else. Ensure your application reflects your voice and how your skills align with our mission. Stages in our hiring process Culture interview 45m on Google Meet . We ask you questions on fundamental skills and behaviours for working at Apolitical. This call is about finding candidates who will add to our culture. It's an opportunity to get to know you and for you to get to know us as an organisation, so we make time at the end for you to ask us questions about how we work. Written task async . We use written tasks to see how you approach problems and give you a sense of the type of work you would be doing in the role. We use them because they're reliable in assessing and predicting performance in a role. Our tasks are designed to take less than 2 hours to complete. Team interview 45 on Google Meet . We ask you questions on fundamental skills and behaviours for the role. It's an opportunity to meet some of the people you might end up working with, so we make time at the end for you to ask us questions about the team and role. Executive interview 30m in person . One or two of our senior leaders build on conversations you've had with other team members to learn about your motivations and drivers at work and within the Apolitical context.
