Curtis Partnership is seeking an experienced Commercial Finance Manager to join a large, complex and operationally focused organisation.
Operating within the transport, infrastructure and logistics sector, this business manages large-scale operations and requires a commercially minded finance leader who can partner with senior stakeholders, influence strategic decision-making and help drive operational and financial performance.
Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will lead the finance function while working closely with the executive team and operational leaders to provide meaningful commercial analysis, strategic guidance and financial leadership across the business.

Your key responsibilities will include
- Partnering with the Managing Director and Executive Team to provide strategic financial advice.
- Leading budgeting, forecasting and long‑term business planning.
- Delivering meaningful commercial analysis to support operational and strategic decisions.
- Driving financial performance through improved reporting, analysis and business insight.
- Leading and developing the finance team while fostering a culture of continuous improvement.
- Strengthening financial controls, governance and compliance.
- Supporting commercial initiatives, contract evaluations and business improvement projects.
- Building strong relationships across operational business units to ensure finance is viewed as a trusted business partner.
You are an experienced finance professional who enjoys understanding how a business operates—not just how it reports, as such you will demonstate a commercially minded approach being able to translate financial data into practical recommendations that improve business performance.
About you
- CA or CPA qualification.
- Significant experience in a senior commercial finance leadership role.
- Strong budgeting, forecasting and financial planning capability.
- Demonstrated experience partnering with executive and operational stakeholders.
- A proven ability to interpret financial results and communicate meaningful commercial insights.
- Experience leading and developing finance teams.
Experience gained within transport, logistics, infrastructure, utilities, or other complex, operationally intensive environments will be highly regarded.
Curtis Partnership specialises in Accounting, Property and Sales & Operations recruitment.
