As the business scales its supply chain complexity and geographic reach, the finance function is becoming central to operational decision-making and capital allocation. They are now seeking a Head of Finance to strengthen financial leadership and embed rigour across the organisation. The RoleReporting to the founding team, you will lead all financial planning, reporting, and control across the business. This is a hands-on, commercially engaged role that bridges strategic finance with operational delivery. You will shape how the organisation measures and manages performance, support critical growth decisions, and ensure compliance and control systems keep pace with expansion. You will own forecasting and budgeting processes, build visibility into profitability by channel and product category, and work closely with operations and supply chain to manage working capital in a capital-light model. You will also establish the frameworks needed to make faster, better-informed decisions as the business grows. Key Responsibilities • Design and lead annual budgeting, monthly forecasting, and scenario planning across the business, • Develop clear, actionable management reporting that highlights margin drivers, cash position, and commercial performance, • Partner with operations and procurement to optimise cost structures and inventory efficiency, • Build and refine financial controls, month-end close processes, and governance standards, • Support pricing strategy, product-level profitability analysis, and go-to-market decisions, • Manage cash flow, working capital facilities, and banking relationships, • Lead a small finance team and embed commercial thinking across the organisation What we are looking for • ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualified, • Demonstrated senior finance experience in consumer goods, retail, or similar product-led, high-volume environments, • Strong commercial instinct with experience supporting pricing, margin management, and growth decisions, • Ability to move quickly and adapt to evolving business priorities without losing rigour, • Team leadership experience and a track record of building capability in finance teams, • Comfortable moving between strategic thinking and detailed operational execution

IT Security Architect, FS London, City (Hybrid) Highly competitive salary with bonus and FS benefits A leading global financial services firm is building out its security architecture function and looking for a strong Security Architect to join a lean, fast-moving team at a genuinely interesting moment. The firm is mid-transformation: cloud migration, a Zero Trust programme, and a growing AI security agenda. There is real work to do, and real scope to shape how security architecture is delivered across the business. The role You will conduct security design reviews end to end, perform threat modelling, author security standards and patterns, and provide architecture consultancy to project teams across the business. You will build deep knowledge of a specific business division while remaining part of a central, shared team. This is not a governance role. You will need to know your technology well enough to have real conversations with engineers and shape solutions, not just review them. What they are looking for The ideal profile sits between pure theorist and hands-on practitioner. Close to technology, technically credible, and operating confidently at architecture level. Core requirements: • Currently working as a Security Architect, not transitioning from SecOps or engineering, • Strong Azure and Microsoft cloud knowledge, including identity, networking, and workload protection, • Solid IAM background covering federation, SSO, MFA, and privileged access, • Experience in a regulated environment, either financial services or consultancy with FS clients, • Proven threat modelling and security design review experience, with the ability to write clear security standards Strong differentiators: • Awareness of AI and LLM security risks (a live priority here, not a futureone), • Network segmentation, Zero Trust, and SASE/SSE experience, SABSA certification The environment This firm moves fast. If you are used to a large architecture team where everyone owns a small slice of a long process, this probably is not the right fit. If you want breadth, real ownership, and the chance to build something properly, it is worth a conversation.

This engagement is part of a wider learning transformation programme, including the introduction of a new learning platform, and the simplification of complex, fragmented systems, processes and data.
