East Yorkshire

Are you a seasoned financial leader who thrives on driving transformational growth strategies across borders? Do you have the vision and cross-cultural intelligence to propel an ambitious B2C brand to new heights? If so, this CFO role for our client could be your next exhilarating career move.

Leaving the Conventional Behind

Forget being just another number-crunching CFO. In this role, you'll go beyond traditional finance leadership to be a pivotal change agent and business catalyst. With their integration into a larger multinational, they're reshaping the future of transactional B2C sales through innovation and operational excellence. Your mandate? Develop bold strategies that outmanoeuvre market volatility and align their trajectory with the parent company's global vision.

The Challenges:

· Steering Financial Strategy Across Complex Operations - From cash flow optimisation to M&A execution, you'll architect a robust financial framework to fuel sustainable growth across their branch network.

· Bridging Cultures Through Financial Diplomacy - With a dual reporting structure to UK and EU leadership, you'll navigate differing corporate cultures with poise, ensuring financial strategies harmonise local realities with international objectives.

· Championing Transformation and Operational Agility - You'll optimise their operational model through strategic decision-making on branch performance, investments, and structural shifts in line with market dynamics. Your previous experience of applying lean CI methodologies to drive improvements will be an asset.

· Fostering a Financially Conscious, Growth-Oriented Mindset - As a finance leader, you'll rally cross-functional teams behind a shared vision, nurturing an innovative, entrepreneurial culture of accountability.

The Expertise That Resonates

You'll bring substantial experience in progressive financial leadership at multinational corporations, preferably in transactional B2C sectors. As a CFO or senior finance executive, you've excelled at M&A, fundraising, strategic investments, and steering complex cross-border integrations. But it's your unique blend of:

· Razor-sharp business acumen and financial mastery

· Inspirational leadership and influential communication skills

· Adaptability to thrive in ambiguity and drive transformative change

· Cultural intelligence to bridge diverse corporate philosophies

...that will help you elevate our client to new realms of success within their dynamic retail arena.

The Opportunity of a Lifetime

For globally minded financial experts, this CFO role is a chance to redefine the future of an innovative brand while catalysing its integration into a large multinational. You'll shape strategies, optimise operations, and galvanise teams to capitalise on new growth avenues. Most importantly, you'll cement your legacy as a linchpin of our client's ongoing transformation.

Experience gained in a financially regulated B2C or B2B transactional environment such as retail car sales, commercial vehicle sales, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, consumer electronics, financial services, retail banking would be very relevant, but our client is open to consider candidates from other sectors.

This role is predominantly office based as you will play a key role as a member of the executive leadership team. There will also be some national travel to branches and occasional travel to parent company HQ in mainland Europe.
