The role will begin on an interim basis, with a genuine opportunity to move into the permanent Finance Director position.

About you You will be a pragmatic finance leader who enjoys building, improving and delivering. The successful candidate is likely to offer: - A recognised professional accounting qualification: ACA, ACCA or CIMA. - Proven experience of establishing or separating a finance function, ideally through a carve-out or comparable business transition. - Experience operating as a standalone Finance Director, or as a senior Financial Controller ready to step into a first Finance Director role. - A strong manufacturing, engineering, industrial or automotive finance background - Experience in a private equity-backed business or a similarly fast-paced, autonomous SME environment. - Strong cash management, forecasting, financial control and management reporting capability. - The willingness and technical confidence to remain hands-on while building the team and infrastructure around you. - Commercial judgement, resilience and the ability to influence senior operational stakeholders. Why consider this role? - A visible leadership position with genuine influence over the future shape of the business. - The opportunity to build a finance function, team and operating model rather than inherit a finished structure. - A broad remit combining financial control, operational finance and commercial partnership. - A clear route from an initial interim assignment into a permanent Finance Director appointment for the right person. Location and working pattern The role is based on-site in the Warwickshire area. Candidates should live within a sustainable commuting distance and be comfortable maintaining a strong on-site presence during the transition.
