Head of Finance, Edinburgh (£70,000 - £85,000)

We are partnered with an International Consultancy firm as they look to appoint an experienced Head of Finance who will sit within their Edinburgh office and who will take charge of the financial management of one of the divisions that sit within the Group.

The organisation manages a substantial portfolio of high impact projects across multiple countries, all aimed towards building and developing sustainable living. The role of Head of Finance itself will have a global reach, both operationally and from a staff management perspective. Under you will sit the Edinburgh Finance team (7) and on top of that you will also manage multiple Finance team members (8) who are based overseas.

You will oversee the day-to-day financial activities of the division including final review and reporting of management accounts to the Senior Management Team and the UK CFO. Working closely with the UK CFO, you will oversee the divisions contribution to the annual financial statements and audit, ensuring robust financial controls and procedures are in place across the division.

In addition to the financial responsibilities that will fall within the role, this is a highly commercial role where you will play a key role in driving the strategic initiatives of the division, providing business development support and on-going project management support. In many respects, this is not your typical Head of Finance role and the role will be far more operationally focused but this is what makes the role so interesting and ultimately so rewarding. A big part of the role will also centre around managing the Grant funding that they receive, right from the initial application process, all the way through to the full management and distribution of subsequent funds that they receive.

It'll be a fascinating role and one that really will be truly rewarding, given the type of projects and countries that they're working with. The ideal candidate will hold previous International Consulting experience but this is not essential. Previous experience of managing Grant funding is high on the list of priorities though and only those who are fully qualified will be considered. It's worth also mentioning that there will be some international travel in the role and this is likely to be once or twice a year.

You will note that there's quite a wide salary banding attached to the role and the successful individual can be appointed anywhere within the banding and this will obviously be based on the level of experience you will bring to the role. If you would like to discuss this opening in more detail, please submit your application at the earliest opportunity.
