Be the Architect of FP&A in a High-Growth Global Business – Private Equity Backed, IPO-Bound, and Scaling Fast
FP&A Lead | £75,000 to £85,000 + 25% Bonus + Private Medical + Matched Pension + Benefits | Hybrid (Nottingham HQ)
This is more than just FP&A. It’s building the financial engine room of a global business on the cusp of something big.
Private equity investment has ignited a transformation—think major international expansion, M&A activity, and IPO prep already underway. Now, they’re looking for a commercially minded FP&A Lead to build out scalable, data-driven planning tools and bring sharper insights to the boardroom.
You’ll work directly with the senior leadership team, in a standalone role where your voice will be heard and your ideas put into action. It’s a blank slate opportunity to design better processes, smarter models, and forecasting that actually helps people make decisions.
Why this one stands out:
- You’ll take ownership of FP&A for a division that’s outperforming within the wider group
- Backed by one of the most renowned PE houses in the world, with clear IPO ambition
- Genuinely future-facing—AI, automation, and tech investment are central to their growth plans
- A people-first culture, strong retention, and a senior team that backs and supports their finance function
What they’re looking for:
- Strong academics, ideally ACA qualified or MBA route, with the foundations to influence at exec level
- Technically solid and genuinely passionate about automation, scalable systems, data structures, and AI-enhanced planning tools—comfortable using SQL, or similar to automate processes, analyse data, and drive better insights.
- A commercially curious problem-solver who enjoys building structure and finding smarter ways of working
- Not the finished article—just someone ambitious, switched-on, and ready to grow with the business
- Confident communicator who can challenge, collaborate, and simplify complex ideas for senior stakeholders
This is one of those rare roles where you’re not stepping into someone else’s shoes—you’re making your own mark. If you’ve been operating as the 'number two' in a fast-paced business and want your own space to lead, this could be the one.
