Job Details

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an accomplished Commercial Controller to assume a high profile role within the finance team of an innovative consumer goods group. Reporting into a Regional CFO, this is a broad but commercially-focused role with responsibility for a team of four.

Key responsibilities fall under the following broad headings:

  • Controls, Accounting & Governance
  • Performance Management and Driving Sustainable Profitable Growth
  • Cash Management
  • Change Management & Separation
  • Team Leadership & Development

Candidates will be qualified and able to demonstrate a commercial, business partnering skill set (ideally working closely with an MD or similar). They will likely have begun their career in a more “traditional” finance capacity before developing a more analytical, value-add skill set in more recent years. They will thrive in a fast-paced, high pressure, ever-changing environment and will have a passion for (if not experience in) the consumer goods space.

Company

Communicate stands for excellence, entrepreneurialism and delivery. 

Our aim is simple: to source and place the best candidates within timeframes which surpass those of other recruitment businesses. With 32% of placements made this year being at FTSE 100 companies, we feel we are living up to our aspirations. 

Specialising in the placement of permanent and interim candidates for many of the world’s best companies, Communicate has earned an excellent reputation for providing fast and effective recruitment on a retained or contingent basis, without ever compromising quality. Indeed, despite the market average for finding new opportunities through word-of-mouth being just 18%*, this year, 67% of the placements made so far have been agency network, referred or headhunted candidates. 

In addition, we are thought leaders, regularly appearing in national, regional and trade publications. 

We are also market leaders. Our pioneering product – the Communicate Contingent Retainer – guarantees we fill vacancies within six weeks or refund all payments, in full, immediately. This means positions are filled with exceptional candidates at four times the speed of the industry standard and clients are not exposed to the 20% risk of paying for a service they do not receive, as is typical with most of our competitors’ retained assignments. 

*Survey data collected from conversations with our leading clients in 2012 on sourcing candidates.
