Are you a seasoned finance professional with a passion for the commodities sector? Imagine a role where your strategic insights directly influence the growth and success of a dynamic commodities trading company, all while enjoying the flexibility of a part-time schedule. This is your chance to step into a pivotal role that offers both professional fulfilment and work-life balance.
The position of Part-Time Finance Director is designed for an experienced finance leader who thrives in fast-paced trading environments. This role is not just about managing numbers; it’s about steering the financial strategy of a growing business, optimising capital structures, and managing risks in volatile markets. Your expertise will be crucial in providing strategic financial leadership, advising the executive team and board on growth strategies, capital allocation, and risk management.
Your responsibilities will encompass overseeing core finance functions such as financial planning and analysis, budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, and compliance. You will lead treasury operations, manage commodity-specific financial risks, and ensure accurate and timely financial reporting. Additionally, you will support commercial teams on deal structuring and trade finance facilities, collaborate with external auditors and tax advisors, and drive process improvements.
To excel in this role, you must be a qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CPA or equivalent) with over 10 years of progressive finance leadership experience, including at least 5 years in senior finance roles within commodities trading or related financial services. A proven track record in commodities markets, strong analytical and commercial skills, and the ability to translate complex financial concepts into actionable business insights are essential. Experience with precious metals trading, multi-currency operations, and international trade finance instruments will be highly advantageous.
This role offers a competitive part-time salary, flexible working hours, and remote/hybrid options. You will have the opportunity to shape the finance strategy in a high-growth business, work closely with senior leadership, and potentially benefit from performance-related bonuses or equity.
