Head of Finance

Insights is a Dundee-headquartered, globally recognised people development business, delivering behavioural and leadership solutions to organisations in over 100 countries, including Microsoft, Google and Expedia.

With c.£89m turnover (2025) and operations across 16 international entities, the business is entering a new phase of global growth and capability build, underpinned by continued investment in digital platforms, product innovation and international expansion.

This is a finance leadership role offering significant influence and a clear route to career progression
. Reporting to the Group Finance & Corporate Services Director, you will act as a trusted partner to senior business stakeholders, helping to shape business performance, investment decisions and long-term strategy. You will lead a 40‑strong international finance function (5 direct reports
) while evolving the role of finance to become more insight‑led and commercially focused.

You will have oversight of core financial stewardship, ensuring a well‑controlled environment across reporting, tax, treasury and cash management. You will contribute to wider leadership decisions across risk, technology and strategic programmes.

A core part of the mandate is transformation. Strong foundations are in place, but there is a clear opportunity to:

• Enhance systems, data and insight capability (including utilisation of tools such as Power BI)
• Strengthen global governance and consistency across 16 entities following a recent ERP (365) system implementation
• Improve decision support around pricing, growth, FX and international expansion

We are targeting a high‑calibre finance leader operating at, or close to, Finance Director level, who is motivated by breadth, scale and progression.

You will be an engaging people manager with experience managing sizeable teams and have a track record of partnering with senior stakeholders on commercial and strategic decisions. People and culture will be important to you and working for a purpose‑led organisation will appeal. You will be a qualified accountant (CA / ACCA / CIMA) with experience in a mid‑to‑large, international organisation, bringing both credibility and the ability to operate effectively in a complex, multi‑entity environment.

You will bring:

• Experience in a senior finance role in an international environment (ideally with exposure to treasury, FX and multi‑entity reporting)
• Proven delivery of finance transformation – systems, governance, processes or organisational change
• A broad range of experience across the finance function ideally encompassing forecasting, scenario modelling, KPI analysis and financial control
• The ability to build and lead high‑performing, engaged teams
• Confidence to operate in a visible, leadership role with broad organisational impact

• Highly competitive salary + bonus
• Hybrid working policy (regular visits to the Dundee HQ expected)
• Comprehensive benefits package offering highly competitive Time, Wealth, Health and Lifestyle policies
• Clear and credible succession to current Finance & Corporate Services Director, aligned to business growth plans
• Opportunity to lead meaningful transformation and leave a lasting legacy
• A purpose‑led, values‑driven organisation with strong financial foundations
