Cumbria Full-time 5 days on-site

Ever thought about relocating to the Lake District?

If you're an experienced Finance Director, or a senior finance leader ready for your next step, this could be an opportunity worth exploring.

Butler Rose are exclusively working with the business to identify its next Finance Director.

This is a senior, high-profile opportunity within an established business, offering genuine exposure to the CEO and senior leadership team, with the opportunity to influence commercial performance, financial strategy and future growth.

And if you're considering a move north, there is a relocation package of up to £8,000 available to support eligible relocation costs.

With the Lake District on your doorstep, this could be an opportunity to make a significant career move while also making a lifestyle change.

The Opportunity

As Finance Director, you'll play a key role in the financial and commercial performance of the business.

Reporting directly into the CEO and senior Directors, you'll provide financial leadership, commercial insight and constructive challenge across the organisation.

This is not simply a financial control role. The business is looking for a commercially minded Finance Director who wants to be close to the operation, influence decision-making and make a tangible difference.

You'll have responsibility across:

• Financial leadership, reporting and control
• Budgeting, forecasting and commercial analysis
• Cash management and forecasting
• Financial governance, systems and compliance
• Commercial decision-making and business performance
• Continuous improvement across finance processes
• Senior stakeholder management
• Finance team leadership and development
• Supporting future business growth and investment

You'll lead an established finance function and have the opportunity to develop the team while working closely with senior leadership across the organisation.

Why this opportunity?

This is a role where Finance has a genuine voice in the wider business.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• Work closely with the CEO and senior leadership team
• Influence commercial and strategic decisions
• Lead and develop an established finance function
• Improve financial visibility and business performance
• Support future growth and investment
• Challenge and influence senior stakeholders
• Drive meaningful change across finance and the wider operation
• Take ownership of financial performance within a complex organisation

The business is looking for someone who can balance strategic thinking with a hands-on, practical approach.

About You

We're looking for a qualified accountant with significant senior-level commercial experience.

You'll ideally bring:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualification
• 10+ years' post-qualification experience in a commercial environment
• Finance Director, Head of Finance or divisional finance leadership experience
• Strong commercial and analytical capability
• Experience across financial control, forecasting, reporting and cash management
• A proven track record of leading teams and developing people
• Experience delivering change and continuous improvement
• The confidence to challenge and influence senior stakeholders
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• A pragmatic, resilient and solutions-focused approach

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys being close to the business and using finance to drive better commercial decisions.

What's on offer?

Salary: Up to £100,000

Relocation: Up to £8,000 towards eligible relocation costs

Holiday: 33 days including Bank Holidays

Pension: 10% employer contribution / 5% employee contribution

Wellbeing: A range of employee wellbeing benefits, including free eye tests and flu vaccinations

The relocation support is subject to the relevant scheme terms and conditions, including repayment provisions should you leave the business within two years.

If you've ever thought about swapping the daily commute for a different pace of life, while stepping into a genuinely influential Finance Director position, this could be worth a conversation.

Interested?

If you're an experienced Finance Director looking for a commercially focused role where you can genuinely influence business performance and future direction, I'd love to hear from you.

I'm handling this opportunity exclusively for Butler Rose, so if you'd like a confidential conversation about the role, the opportunity and whether it could be the right move for you, please get in touch directly to book a confidential call.
