Company

Inside IR35 | UK‑based | Largely Remote

We are supporting a leading international organisation in the appointment of an Interim FP&A Director (Europe & International). This is a senior, high-impact role providing strategic financial leadership across a complex, multi country region.

The position is UK based, largely remote, with periodic travel to London and Manchester. The role operates within a large, matrixed international organisation and partners closely with senior regional leadership to drive performance, support decision making, and strengthen financial governance.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide strategic FP&A leadership across Europe & International markets, acting as a trusted advisor to the regional CFO and leadership team
• Own and lead all planning cycles, including annual budgets, forecasts, and strategic plans
• Deliver high‑quality financial reporting and insight to senior executives, including Board level materials
• Partner closely with Commercial, Operations, and Supply Chain leadership to support pricing, investments, and business cases
• Lead complex financial modelling, scenario analysis, and investment appraisal, including M&A and capital allocation decisions
• Identify and articulate key risks and opportunities, driving proactive mitigation and value creation initiatives
• Drive continuous improvement of FP&A processes, systems, and reporting standards, including automation and analytics
• Lead, coach, and develop FP&A managers and analysts across multiple geographies

Key Skills preferred

• Proven experience operating at Finance Director / Senior FP&A Director level within a large international, matrixed organisation
• Strong background in regional or international FP&A, rather than single country roles
• Demonstrated ability to influence senior stakeholders and operate as a genuine business partner
• Advanced financial modelling, forecasting, and scenario‑planning capability
• Experience working with enterprise systems (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Hyperion) and analytics tools such as Power BI
• Professionally qualified (CIMA, ACCA, ACA, CFA or equivalent)
• Resilient, commercially minded, and comfortable operating in complex, fast moving environments
• Prior interim experience advantageous but not essential

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced FP&A leader to step into a visible, strategically important interim role within a well established international business.

If you have deep experience in international FP&A within large matrix organisations and are available for an inside IR35 interim assignment, we’d welcome a confidential conversation.
