They are now seeking a dynamic Head of Transactional Finance to lead the evolution of finance operations and define the future of this function within a modern, collaborative finance team.

The Role
Reporting directly to the CFO, the Head of Transactional Finance as a pivotal leadership role that oversees payroll, accounts payable, and finance systems. It has a strong relationship to accounts receivable in an adjacent team. It’s a unique opportunity to lead a function through significant change.

You’ll be instrumental in driving automation, improving processes, and ensuring seamless integration between finance systems (UNIT4) and wider business platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, change-oriented environment and is passionate about delivering operational excellence and strategic impact:

• Driving automation and process improvement across transactional finance

I am generally a happy and sociable person who enjoys being with those around me and makes friends quickly. I have a good relationship with my family and enjoy spending time with them at their house when I can.

I enjoy activities like arts and crafts, spending time on YouTube, dancing and going to the café. I also enjoy looking after myself and getting my nails and hair done and shopping for nice clothes (but I might need prompting to put outfits together to look nice and I enjoy staff telling me I am looking well and giving me positive feedback).

I like to be surrounded by people who are very proactive and can be creative and patient when engaging me in tasks and activities - and are confident supporting me in building safe relationships. I enjoy and respond well to positive affirmations and recognition of my progress."
