Finance Business Partner \n Walsall | £70,000 + Company Bonus | Hybrid Working \n SF Partners is partnering with a leading global organisation in Walsall to recruit a high-profile Finance Business Partner position. If you’re a Finance Business Partner who wants to actually influence a business rather than spend your life explaining last month’s numbers, this is worth a conversation. \n Sitting close to the operational leadership team and reporting to the Head of Commercial Finance, you’ll be expected to get under the skin of business performance, challenge decisions, spot opportunities and turn financial information into actions. \n \n The role: \n You’ll become a key finance partner to senior operational stakeholders, giving them the commercial insight they need to make better decisions and improve performance. \n You’ll take ownership of: \n\n • Partnering senior operational leaders and challenging them on performance, profitability and commercial decisions\n, • Getting behind the numbers – identifying what is driving performance, where margin is being won or lost and where the opportunities sit\n, • Building insightful profitability, cost and performance analysis that genuinely influences decisions\n, • Developing forecasting and financial models to support business planning and strategic decision-making\n, • Improving management information and making better use of finance and operational data\n, • Driving improvements across finance processes, systems and reporting\n, • Supporting wider business change, including ERP development and implementation\n, • Getting involved in due diligence and the integration of acquired businesses\n, • Supervising and developing two Finance Analysts\n\n \n Who we're looking for: \n\n • You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA) with strong commercial instincts and the confidence to operate with senior people outside finance.\n, • You don’t need to be an established people manager. If you’re a strong Finance Business Partner ready to take on your first supervisory responsibility, we’d absolutely like to hear from you.\n, • More important is your ability to challenge, influence and communicate.\n, • You’ll probably be the person who asks the extra question when the numbers don’t quite make sense. You’ll be comfortable challenging an operational director when necessary, but commercially astute enough to know how to take people with you.\n, • Experience within a sizeable, fast-moving or operationally complex business would be particularly relevant, as would exposure to ERP development, business transformation or acquisition integration.\n\n Why consider it?: \n Because this has the breadth to be much more than another FBP role. You’ll have senior-level exposure, genuine influence over commercial decisions, two analysts beneath you and the opportunity to get involved in projects well beyond the monthly reporting cycle. \n

You will join an established specialist consultancy with recognised market presence, warm client relationships, active talent networks and genuine support to build a high performing desk. \n Why Christchurch? \n We are not going to pretend this is a holiday. It is a career move. \n However, Christchurch gives you the opportunity to build that career in a city where life outside work is genuinely different. \n You can finish work and be at Sumner Beach in around 20 minutes, head into the Port Hills for a mountain bike ride, or spend the weekend skiing at Mount Hutt or exploring the Southern Alps. \n Christchurch has a growing city centre with excellent restaurants, bars, craft breweries, coffee shops and Riverside Market, while the outdoors are never far away. \n Canterbury gives you easy access to surfing, skiing, mountain biking, hiking and some of New Zealand's best outdoor destinations, including Banks Peninsula, Hanmer Springs and Kaikoura. \n It is also a relatively affordable New Zealand city, with a wide range of rental accommodation and new developments. \n The UK Connection \n Moving to the other side of the world is a big decision, which is why having people around you who have done it themselves matters. \n Our Christchurch Manager, Ben Holloway and one of our Directors both moved to New Zealand from the UK. \n You will have people around you who understand the move, the differences in working culture, settling into Christchurch and everything that comes with building a life in New Zealand. \n There is also no shortage of familiar accents and British banter in the office. \n Your Recruitment Career \n This is not a generalist recruitment role. Tyler Wren specialises in high value professional services recruitment across: \n\n • Legal: New Zealand and Australia\n, • Accounting: New Zealand and Australia\n, • Banking, Finance, Insurance & Risk: New Zealand\n\n Your market will be aligned with your existing recruitment experience, commercial strengths and interests. \n We are particularly interested in recruiters who know how to build genuine client relationships, develop candidate networks and run a commercially successful desk. \n Why Tyler Wren? \n\n • Established platform: You will have an existing business, market presence, client relationships and talent networks to build from. This is not a cold start.\n, • Genuine autonomy: You are an experienced recruiter, so we treat you like one. You will have ownership of your desk, relationships and working day without unnecessary micromanagement.\n, • Uncapped earning potential: A competitive base salary combined with an uncapped commission structure gives you the opportunity to build your earnings as your desk grows.\n, • Modern technology: You will have access to JobAdder, LinkedIn Recruiter and AI recruitment tools to help you source, manage and develop your market efficiently.\n, • Flexibility: Hybrid working and glide time give you flexibility around when and where you work, provided you deliver the outcomes expected of you.\n\n What We Offer \n\n • Competitive base salary\n, • Uncapped commission\n, • Potential pathway to long term visa sponsorship for the right person\n, • Hybrid working and glide time\n, • Paid birthday leave\n, • Quarterly bonus days off\n, • NZ$600 annual cellphone allowance\n, • Employee Assistance Programme\n, • Annual flu vaccination\n\n Moving from the UK \n We understand that relocating internationally comes with practical questions. \n If you are eligible to work in New Zealand on a Working Holiday Visa, this can provide a straightforward way to make the initial move. \n Once you are established in the role, we can look at longer term visa options for the right person who wants to build a permanent career with Tyler Wren. \n We are looking for someone who wants to make Christchurch home and build something lasting. \n What We Are Looking For \n You will be an experienced Recruitment Consultant with a proven ability to manage and grow a specialist recruitment desk. \n Legal, accounting, finance, banking, insurance or risk recruitment experience would be ideal, although we are open to recruiters from other specialist professional services markets. \n More importantly, you will be someone who: \n\n • Builds strong, long term client relationships\n, • Knows how to develop and manage a candidate network\n, • Is commercially minded and motivated by results\n, • Works independently without needing to be micromanaged\n, • Is resilient and self motivated\n, • Wants to build something rather than simply maintain an existing desk\n, • Is genuinely excited about living and working in New Zealand\n\n Life in Christchurch \n Imagine finishing work and being on the beach 20 minutes later. Imagine having the Port Hills on your doorstep for an evening mountain bike ride. \n Imagine skiing at Mount Hutt on Saturday and being back in Christchurch for dinner. Or taking a weekend trip to Kaikoura, Hanmer Springs or Banks Peninsula without having to organise a flight. \n A proper city. A great outdoor lifestyle. Short commutes. Easy access to the coast. Mountains within reach. More space and time outside work. \n That is the lifestyle you are moving for. The recruitment career is what makes the move worthwhile. \n Ready to Explore the Move? \n You do not need an updated CV or a formal application to start the conversation. \n If you are an experienced recruiter in the UK and have ever thought “I could actually live in New Zealand”, let's have a conversation. \n It will be informal, confidential and with no obligation. \n Get in touch to discuss what a move to Christchurch and Tyler Wren could look like. \n Only shortlisted applicants will be contacted.
