HEAD OF COMMERCIAL FINANCE - BRADFORD

For When Excel Formulas Just Don’t Cut It Anymore

You know that feeling when your current finance role is so dull that you’re writing macros to automate your own job security away? Yeah, we’re not that.
We’re looking for a financially-savvy human who can juggle a P&L, wrangle a balance sheet, and explain to our European parent company why British shoppers have different spending habits (without causing an international incident).

What you’ll actually be doing:
*Owning a commercial finance team of 4 people who don’t need micromanaging (they’re already excellent, you’re welcome)
*Translating financial gibberish into actual business insights that people can use
*Becoming unnaturally excited about forecasting accuracy
*Finding clever ways to save money that don’t involve removing the free snacks from the kitchen
*Developing an obsessive relationship with month-end close (your therapist can help with this)
*Occasionally swearing at Excel when it crashes with your 37 linked tabs open
You probably have:
*Some letters after your name (ACA/CIMA/ACCA) and 5+ years of not being terrible at using them
*Retail sector experience where you’ve seen both the glory and horror of seasonal trading
*SAP knowledge that you never thought would be useful again (surprise!)
*The ability to make a PowerPoint slide that doesn’t make executives fall asleep
*A weird love for problem-solving that normal people find concerning
The package is actually decent:
*35-hour weeks with early finish Fridays (yes, really)
*Hybrid working that doesn’t just mean "come in whenever we feel like seeing your face"
*35 days holiday with options to buy more (because who doesn’t need more time away from spreadsheets?)
*Staff discount that might finally make your wardrobe respectable
*Private medical insurance for when you’ve stared at numbers so long you need professional help
*An onsite gym to work off the fully-stocked free snack kitchen (the circle of life)
The culture isn’t corporate nonsense:
*No suits unless you really want to wear one (weird flex, but OK)
*No hiding in corner offices – we’re all in this together
*Regular social events that aren’t just awkward pub visits
*A CEO who actually knows your name and what you do
This role sits directly under the CFO, so expect visibility, accountability, and occasionally being asked "quick questions" that require three days of data analysis.

If you’re the kind of finance leader who gets excited about making commercial decisions with actual impact rather than just being a numbers gatekeeper, we should probably talk.

Apply if you want to work somewhere that values your brain as much as your ability to reconcile a balance sheet.
