Location - Central London

Hybrid Working - 2 days office / 3 days home

Salary - £115,000 + Attractive Benefits

Butler Rose is pleased to be partnering with a highly respected, influential professional organisation to appoint a Head of Financial Services to lead its financial services agenda. This role offers a genuine opportunity to influence the future of financial services, shape industry thinking and make a genuine impact.

This isn't a traditional accounting or finance leadership role. We're looking for a forward-thinking, commercially astute individual who combines strong technical knowledge with the vision, credibility and ability to influence senior stakeholders across the financial services industry.

You'll play a pivotal role in shaping strategic direction, driving thought leadership, influencing regulatory and policy discussions, and developing relationships with senior industry figures, professional firms and regulatory bodies.

Person Specification:

  • ACA, ACCA or equivalent chartered qualification, with strong technical financial services expertise.
  • Significant experience across Financial Services i.e. banking, insurance, investment management, professional services or oversight / membership bodies.
  • A strategic thinker with the ability to translate complex technical matters into meaningful industry insight.
  • Strong commercial awareness, stakeholder engagement and leadership capabilities.
  • A collaborative, engaging personality with the confidence to influence at senior level and challenge conventional thinking.

This is a rare opportunity to move beyond traditional financial services leadership and help shape the wider industry's direction, combining strategic influence, technical credibility and commercial responsibility within a respected organisation.

Whether you're actively considering a move or simply curious, we'd welcome a confidential conversation. Apply today or contact Anthony Tait at Butler Rose on 07884 733705 to discuss the opportunity in more detail.
