Divisional Managing Director

This is a Divisional Managing Director position leading a standalone division of a high growth Financial Services business in Manchester. This role is newly created and is designed to support the group in delivering ambitious but credible plans to more than double the business in the next 5 years and deliver a financial transaction.

Though this role is Managing Director of a division of a wider group, you would have a high level of autonomy and a real mandate to go out and deliver results without micromanagement. Ultimately this role combines respecting and maintaining the hard work that has generated a genuine high-performance culture and led this division to be the fastest growing, and highest revenue and profit generating businesses within the group looking to improve in all aspects of business performance. You will report to the Chief Executive and wider board.

You will have experience of:

• Working in Financial Services in an FCA regulated business
• Operational leadership of people up to director level
• Financial management of the P&L of a standalone business or division of a group
• Developing and growing business revenue and ultimately profits across an established client base with institutional intermediaries
• Blending contributing to strategy at a high level to ensuring operational performance is world class
• Risk Management to ensure business resilience
• Regulatory compliance and governance ensuring a culture of ethics and accountability across your team

As well as an outstanding opportunity to lead and grow a high performing business in an exciting and high growth group, this role offers an excellent salary and remuneration package with yearly bonus and including a lucrative LTIP based on delivering to challenging but achievable targets in the lead up to financial transaction in 3-5 years.

Though the role does come with the ability to work on a hybrid basis and with some degree of flexibility on hours, ultimately this is a critical leadership role and as such you will be based in the North West of England (or looking to relocate here) with an ability to fully immerse in the business most days; visibility for both the team and the board will be a key factor in your success here.
