- Maintaining robust financial controls, balance sheet integrity and audit readiness.
- Monitoring stock, working capital and cost performance, highlighting risks/opportunities.
- Evaluating business cases and supporting capital investment decisions.
- Driving continuous improvement across financial processes, reporting systems and operational performance.
- Working collaboratively with site leadership to deliver efficiencies, strengthen controls and support long-term growth.
What We're Looking For
- You'll be a qualified finance professional who combines strong technical accounting skills with commercial awareness and the confidence to challenge, influence and support stakeholders across the business.
- A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA or CIMA).
- Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience, in a manufacturing or similar environment.
- A solid understanding of operational cost drivers, production performance and KPIs.
- Strong Excel skills and the ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insight.
- Excellent analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
- The confidence to build relationships with stakeholders at all levels and influence business decisions.
