An exciting chance has arisen for an experienced finance leader to join Nectar Brands as our Head of Finance. This is a permanent, full‑time role within a fast‑growing, multi‑brand healthcare and consumer business.
You’ll lead a small but capable finance team and work closely with the Founder/CEO and senior leadership to shape the financial, operational, and commercial direction of the company. This role offers full ownership of the end‑to‑end finance function — spanning day‑to‑day execution, strategic planning, system optimisation, and data‑driven decision support.
As we scale, you’ll play a pivotal role in strengthening our financial systems, improving processes, and building a best‑practice finance function that supports growth across multiple brands, products, and channels. This role suits someone who is equally comfortable being hands‑on as they are influencing strategy, and who thrives in a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial environment. With significant exposure to capital raising, product economics, and cross‑functional work, this role offers a clear pathway to a future CFO position.
