Interim Finance Transformation Director
Global Listed Business | UK | Up to 12 months | Early October start
We are supporting a listed, international organisation with the appointment of an experienced Interim Finance Transformation Director to shape and mobilise a significant, CFO-sponsored transformation of its global Finance function.
Reporting directly to the CFO, this is a high-profile assignment with a clear value-creation mandate. The successful individual will initially lead the diagnostic and design phase: defining the case for change, developing the future Finance operating model and AI/digital roadmap, and building a robust business case for Executive and Board approval. The expectation is then to move rapidly into mobilisation and early delivery.
The transformation will span operating model, process standardisation, shared services/location strategy, ERP optimisation, data and reporting, automation and the practical application of AI within Finance.
We are particularly interested in individuals who can demonstrate:
- Leadership of large-scale Finance transformation within a listed or similarly complex international organisation.
- The credibility to work directly with a Group CFO, Executive Leadership Team and Board.
- A strong track record of developing Board-level transformation business cases, including quantified benefits, investment, phasing, risks and implementation plans.
- Significant experience designing and implementing Finance target operating models, including process standardisation, shared services/GBS, centres of excellence and location strategy.
- Practical understanding of AI, automation, ERP-enabled transformation, data and reporting, rather than technology transformation in isolation.
- Experience leading transformation across multiple countries, legal entities and stakeholder groups.
- Evidence of translating strategy into mobilisation and measurable delivery, balancing cost reduction with service, control and business insight.
- Strong change leadership skills and the ability to navigate complex and potentially politically sensitive international environments.
This is not a programme-management role. We are looking for someone who can operate credibly at Board level whilst remaining sufficiently hands-on to diagnose the opportunity, make clear recommendations and establish the programme for delivery.
Timing: Early October 2026
Duration: Up to 12 months
Location: UK-based, with flexibility to engage across international operations
Engagement: Interim contract
Given the confidential nature of the appointment, further details will be shared with suitably qualified individuals following an initial conversation.
