Finance Director Designate Confidential | Halifax | £80,000 - £90,000 + Benefits The Business This is a technology-led British business operating at the forefront of the recycling sector, based in Halifax. The business has built a market-leading position. What sets the business apart is its investment in proprietary technology, including advanced capability that places it ahead of the curve in a sector where technical differentiation matters. It operates from a purpose-built facility and serves a growing base of commercial and public sector clients. Having recently completed a management buyout backed by a specialist private equity investor, the business enters its next phase with strong foundations, an ambitious management team and a backer with a clear growth thesis. It is at a genuine inflection point - operationally credible, technically differentiated, and with real runway ahead of it. The Opportunity This is a newly created senior finance role - the first dedicated FD appointment in the business’s history - brought about by the MBO and the scale of ambition that comes with it. Reporting directly to the CEO and with full board exposure, the Finance Director Designate will build the finance function, bring commercial rigour to the business and take ownership of everything from day-to-day financial management through to strategic planning, investor reporting and capital allocation. This is a genuine stepping-stone role. For the right person, someone currently operating at Deputy FD or Financial Controller level who is ready for the full seat - the path to FD is clear and intended. Equity participation is on the table, creating real alignment with the value you help create.

What We Are Looking For • A qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with a strong track record at Financial Controller, Deputy FD or Head of Finance level, ready to take the next step into a board-facing FD role., • Someone who has operated in a business of genuine complexity — ideally with experience in recycling, manufacturing, logistics, environmental services or a similarly operationally intensive environment, though this is not prescriptive., • Experience of working within or alongside a PE-backed business would be an advantage - familiarity with investor reporting, covenant management and value creation planning is genuinely valued., • A natural communicator who can translate financial complexity into clear, confident narratives for a CEO, board and institutional investor audience., • A builder by instinct: comfortable setting up processes, selecting systems and developing a team rather than inheriting an established function., • The commercial instinct to look beyond the numbers and contribute meaningfully to strategic conversations, not just report on them., • Comfortable with ambiguity and energised by a business that is actively evolving. Why This Role • The first FD appointment of a PE-backed, technology-led business at a genuine inflection point - a role you shape rather than inherit., • A genuine FD Designate position with a clear and credible progression path, not an indefinite holding pattern., • Future equity participation, creating real alignment with the success you help deliver., • Direct access to an ambitious CEO and an engaged institutional investor., • A sector with serious structural tailwinds., • A Yorkshire base with a leadership team that values presence and genuine collaboration., • £80,000 - £90,000 depending on experience, and a competitive benefits package.

This is a role for a CFO who wants their impact to be felt across an organisation, not just reflected in its reports. It offers the opportunity to shape how financial thinking supports decision-making, influences behaviour and contributes to better outcomes for pupils. The Trust is looking for someone who can bring clarity and perspective to conversations, helping colleagues understand not just the numbers, but what they enable. At the same time, this is a role operating within a highly regulated, publicly funded environment where governance, control and compliance are critical. The Trust already benefits from strong financial discipline, robust audit and well-established controls. Maintaining that integrity is fundamental. Any evolution of the function must be built on those solid foundations. Working closely with the Chief Executive and senior leadership team, the CFO will act as a trusted partner and sounding board. The role carries genuine influence, with responsibility for ensuring that financial insight is embedded into both strategic and day-to-day decision-making across the Trust. This includes engaging directly with headteachers and school leaders, building relationships that allow finance to be understood, valued and actively used. The environment is collaborative, open and values-led.There is a strong sense of shared purpose, and an expectation that finance plays its part in that culture contributing constructively, offering balanced challenge and helping colleagues navigate complexity with confidence. The Trust is well established and financially secure. Governance is strong, audit is well managed and the fundamentals of financial control are firmly in place. These foundations provide confidence and must be maintained. The opportunity now is to build on them. There is scope to further develop the way financial information is produced and used, improving accessibility, timeliness and relevance. Systems and processes can continue to evolve, with increasing use of automation, technology and AI to improve efficiency and reduce friction. Financial planning, forecasting and longer-term modelling will play an important role in supporting sustainability and informed investment decisions. More broadly, the Trust is looking to strengthen the role finance plays in shaping thinking around value, efficiency and the effective use of resources. This requires a CFO who is comfortable operating beyond the boundaries of the function, bringing insight into wider discussions and helping others engage with financial considerations in a practical and meaningful way. The successful candidate will be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA) with experience of operating at a senior level within a complex organisation. Experience within education or the public sector is helpful. Equally important is the ability to work within a well-governed, publicly accountable environment, and to balance financial discipline with a forward-looking, solutions-focused approach. This role will suit someone who enjoys working with people, who brings a pragmatic and thoughtful style, and who is motivated by the opportunity to contribute to an organisation with clear purpose. It will particularly appeal to those who see finance as a means of enabling progress, not simply controlling it.
