Financial Director

R4 Advertising is a media trading, planning, and activation agency focused on brands that recognise the true drivers of media value. The agency trades media at scale, designs plans around real audience behavior, and activates campaigns with precision to protect performance and control cost. R4 Advertising is committed to transparency, offering clients clarity, accountability, and full ownership of their media economics with no hidden margins or rebates.

All value created through trading is returned to the client, supporting measurable commercial outcomes. Teams operate across the UK, USA, and Europe, partnering with ambitious brands that expect their media investment to work harder and smarter.

We’re proud to work with a growing roster of national and global brands, and with billings set to exceed £10M this financial year, we’re scaling fast.

Workflow discipline sits at the heart of how we operate, and it’s something we genuinely care about.

Now we’re looking for a Finance Director to bring that same rigour, expertise and stewardship to our finances at board level.

You’ll own the financial strategy, controls and commercial performance of the agency, working directly with our leadership team.

Full ownership of financial planning, reporting and cash flow, tightening the commercial engine behind our media trading discipline, and giving the board the clarity to make the right decisions quickly.

You’ll shape how we invest as we grow, not just track it.

We’re looking for someone who’s operated at this level before, ideally in media, agency or a fast-scaling services business. Someone who cares about the detail but never loses sight of the bigger picture. Someone who wants to build, not just maintain.

In return, you’ll get a seat at the table from day one, a business in genuine growth mode, and a team that takes the work seriously without taking themselves too seriously.

If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
