A highly successful, privately owned UK finance group is opening a brand new London office in March 2027. You will be the person who staffs it. Not by briefing agencies, and not by directing a team. Personally, on the telephone, in back to back interviews, from the first hire to the hundredth. The people you will be hiring are brokers. Young, ambitious, money motivated, comfortable picking up the phone and hearing no. If you have spent your working life recruiting that person, whatever you happened to call them, you already know how to do this job. The hiring you will own In the region of 20 to 30 brokers a year, alongside a graduate intake starting at five to ten and growing toward around 60 graduates a year in two cohorts as the operation matures. Plus the underwriting, operations, technology and corporate hires that come with building an office from nothing. You will personally headhunt, screen and first stage interview effectively all of it, then present clean shortlists to the Chief Operating Officer, who makes the final decision. He is fast, he is decisive, and he will back your judgement once you have earned it. This might be you The job title on your CV matters far less to us than who you have been hiring. You will be a strong fit if you have come from any of the following. Internal talent or internal recruitment at a recruitment group, hiring trainee and experienced consultants at volume, running graduate intakes and assessment centres. Talent acquisition at a broker, a lender, a commercial finance business or a specialist bank. Running an adviser, broker or agent academy for a wealth manager, an insurance broker or a mortgage network. Campus or early careers recruitment for a sales or operations graduate scheme, at scale, through assessment centres. Talent or resourcing for an estate agency, a media sales business or any organisation that hires commission led salespeople in numbers. Managing a recruitment branch, region or division, where you personally hired, trained and built your own team year after year. If your recent hiring has been software engineers, scientists or corporate functions, this is probably not the right role for you, however senior. The work here is sales recruitment, five days a week. What you will build This is a founding hire. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, you will own recruitment end to end for the new operation and shape what the division becomes. You will hire and lead one senior direct report to start, with the budget and the mandate to grow a team around you as volumes rise. You will design the graduate programme, build the pipelines and the processes that make volume repeatable, and create a presence in a city where this business is not yet known. The financial backing is real and the growth plan is committed. This is not a role that will be quietly scaled back in year two. One thing to be clear about This business assesses people for psychology and cultural fit, not just competence, and it has a method it believes in. You will be expected to learn that method and apply it consistently rather than import your own. You will be given the approach and the coaching to master it, and you will be working alongside someone genuinely good at it. If you are excited by learning a sharper way of reading people, you will enjoy this enormously. If you would rather run your own way of interviewing, this is not the role. Location London based, ideally five days a week in the City as the office launches. There is some flexibility for the right person who is commutable to London, including time spent at head office during onboarding. Exceptional candidates may be considered above the advertised range.

A board-level role with a growth story - join a business rebuilding and help drive the plan to double it. A great benefits package which includes private healthcare, share incentives, and a bonus structure. This is a broad role, and a step up from a traditional FD position. Alongside full ownership of the finance function (management and statutory accounts, cash, forecasting, and group reporting), you'll also lead IT, purchasing and inventory, giving you real influence over how the whole business runs. You'll sit on the board, partner closely with the MD, and have the kind of end-to-end commercial exposure that's hard to find in a larger, more siloed organisation. The MD is clear that he wants an honest second voice in the business - someone who'll challenge him, not defer to him. You d be working for a manufacturer of precision engineering technology, selling globally through direct sales and an international channel network. With new product development restarted, a new ERP system, a new product range being launched, and an ambitious three-year plan to double the business, it s a fantastic time to get involved. What you'll get your teeth into: Full ownership of finance - management and statutory accounts, cash, forecasting, and group reporting Purchasing and inventory, brought together with finance for the first time - a long-neglected area with a lot of low-hanging fruit Getting real value from a newly live ERP system, using it to reduce stock, improve working capital and give the sales team better cost and lead-time information IT oversight, working alongside an in-house IT lead and third-party support A seat at the table on strategic projects - from a new channel for lower-value orders, to financial modelling for new market moves including a proposed international joint venture Building and developing a team as the business reinvests in growth What we're looking for: ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified 5+ years in senior finance, including time as a Financial Controller, FD or Head of Finance in an SME Comfortable operating hands-on with a small team - doing the detail as well as leading Strong ERP experience, ideally SAP, with the confidence to drive system adoption Commercial acumen - able to partner sales on pricing, margin and deal support A manufacturing, engineering or inventory-led background You'll thrive in this role if you want more than just a traditional FD job. If you're commercial, curious, and want to help build something rather than just report on it, get in touch!
