Finance Director | High-Growth Consumer Brand | London

We’re partnering with one of the UK’s fastest-growing consumer brands to appoint their first in-house Finance Director — a rare opportunity to join a founder-led business at a pivotal stage of growth and build a finance function from the ground up.
Operating across both e-commerce and retail, the business has developed a highly engaged customer following and is now entering an exciting new phase of expansion across stores, channels and international markets.
This is far more than a traditional FD role.
You’ll work directly with the Founders as a true commercial partner, helping shape strategy, drive scalable growth and bring greater financial visibility across a fast-paced, multi-channel operation. The role will suit someone equally comfortable operating strategically at board level whilst still being hands-on day-to-day.
The Opportunity*Build and scale the finance function in a rapidly growing business
*Partner closely with the Founders on commercial strategy and growth plans
*Lead budgeting, forecasting, cash flow and board reporting
*Drive performance insight across retail, e-commerce and international operations
*Manage multi-currency exposure, FX risk and hedging strategies
*Support store rollout, operational efficiencies and international expansion
*Develop scalable financial models to support future investment and growth
*Build and mentor a high-performing finance team over time
About You*Have a strong foundation in technical finance and a practice background
*Existing FD, Head of Finance or senior finance leader within consumer, retail or e-commerce
*Experience within multi-site and ideally stock-led environments
*Strong international exposure including multi-currency operations
*Experience managing FX and hedging strategies
*Commercially minded with the ability to influence at senior level
*Comfortable operating in a fast-growth, founder-led environment
*Hands-on, ambitious and excited by the opportunity to build something
Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to genuinely shape the future of a scaling brand rather than simply maintain an existing finance function. You’ll have significant visibility, autonomy and influence within a business that has ambitious growth plans and a strong entrepreneurial culture.
If you’re looking for a high-impact leadership role where you can combine strategic finance, commercial partnering and operational build-out — I’d love to speak with you confidentially.
