Shape the Future of Finance at Sharp

We're looking for an experienced and commercially astute Director of Finance to join our senior leadership team. This is a pivotal leadership role where you'll combine financial stewardship, strategic insight, and commercial influence to drive business performance across the organisation.

What You'll Be Doing

As Director of Finance, you will:

  • Lead and develop a high-performing Finance team, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and commercial focus.
  • Oversee management accounts, general ledger, purchase ledger, payroll, expenses, fixed assets, stock management, and financial reporting activities.
  • Provide insightful financial analysis and strategic recommendations that improve profitability, revenue quality, margins, efficiency, and return on investment.
  • Drive customer, contract, product and service profitability analysis to identify opportunities for growth and improvement.
  • Lead budgeting, forecasting, financial planning, and business case development across the organisation.
  • Partner with senior stakeholders to influence strategic decision-making and operational performance.
  • Ensure robust financial controls, governance, compliance, and audit readiness across the business.
  • Lead finance transformation initiatives, including ERP optimisation, automation, data governance improvements, and enhanced management information.
  • Manage working capital performance and contribute to enterprise-wide business transformation programmes.
  • Deputise for the CFO where appropriate and provide leadership across the wider Finance function.

What We're Looking For

You will be a qualified finance professional (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) with significant experience operating at a senior finance leadership level within a complex corporate or multinational environment.

You'll also bring:

  • Proven experience influencing executive stakeholders and contributing to business strategy.
  • Strong commercial acumen and the ability to translate complex financial information into actionable business insights.
  • A track record of improving profitability, forecasting accuracy, financial controls, working capital and reporting quality.
  • Experience leading and developing finance teams through growth and change.
  • Advanced analytical and digital skills, including Microsoft 365, Power BI and Copilot.
  • Strong ERP experience, with SAP knowledge advantageous.
  • Experience delivering Finance transformation and change programmes with measurable business benefits.
  • Ideally, experience within IT Services, Technology, Managed Services or another recurring revenue environment.
  • Excellent communication, stakeholder management and organisational skills.
  • The ability to manage competing priorities and deliver results in a fast-paced environment.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to play a critical role in shaping the future of our Finance function and wider business strategy. You'll work alongside senior leaders, influence major commercial decisions, and lead initiatives that directly impact business performance, growth and transformation.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
