RP Recruitment is proud to be partnering with a high-growth, private equity-backed business that’s scaling fast on a global stage.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity for a commercially sharp, analytically driven FP&A Lead to take ownership of financial planning and analysis for a high-performing division. It’s not about maintaining legacy systems—it’s about creating the future.

You’ll be joining a business mid-transformation: international expansion and strategic M&A are in full swing. You’ll be the architect of FP&A in a standalone role, working closely with senior leadership to design scalable, intelligent models that provide real value at board level.

About this role:

• Ownership - Reporting into the CEO, take full ownership of FP&A division

• High-performing division - Play a key role in a business unit already outperforming expectations

• Top-tier PE backing - Backed by one of the world’s leading private equity firms with a clear exit plan

• Innovation-led - Tech, AI, and automation are at the heart of their forward strategy

• Supportive culture - Highly engaged leadership team, low turnover, and a collaborative environment that values finance as a strategic partner

About you:

• ACA/CIMA/ACCA qualified with a strong academic track record and experience influencing at senior levels

• Technically sound with a genuine passion for scalable systems, process automation, and data-led decision making

• Preferably experience within a private equity / high growth business.

• Proficient with tools like Power BI / Power Query, SQL, Python, R or similar to extract insights and automate reporting

• A commercially curious problem-solver who thrives in building structure and introducing better ways of working

• Strong communicator—capable of simplifying complex ideas and engaging effectively with board-level stakeholders

• Someone ambitious and hands-on, ready to take the lead and grow with a fast-moving business

This is an ideal move for a high-potential FP&A professional who’s been operating in a fast-paced environment and is now ready to step into the spotlight.

If you’re looking to make your mark in a role that blends strategic influence with technical challenge, we’d love to hear from you.
