\n

\n

Harmonic are delighted to be working with one of the UK's most exciting sustainable fashion and retail brands on the hire of a Finance Director to join their growing team.

\n

\n

Built by a passionate team of creatives, former athletes, and sustainability advocates, the business is on a mission to reimagine performance wear for the modern consumer, fusing technical excellence with planet-first design. With sustainability embedded at the heart of their ethos, the brand has rapidly built a loyal customer base across the UK and recently secured significant investment to support the next stage of their growth.

\n

\n

With turnover now scaling into the multi-millions and an expanding omnichannel presence (across D2C and selected retail/wholesale partnerships), the company is looking to strengthen its leadership team with a hands-on, commercially minded Finance Director. You'll report directly to the company founder, who is passionate about mentorship, and work closely with the senior leadership team across product, marketing and sales.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a mission-driven, product-led company with a collaborative culture and ambitious growth trajectory. You'll play a pivotal role in shaping the company's financial strategy and infrastructure, with significant exposure to investor relations and strategic decision-making. The position is well suited to someone seeking a pathway to a CFO role in the near future.
