Finance & Business Services Manager in Doncaster

This isn’t just another back office role. It’s the chance to shape how a business really works. You’ve handled finance. You’ve owned processes end to end. You’ve supported people, systems, and compliance - often without the authority or organisational clarity you needed. Lately you might be thinking: there has to be a better way to run a business than this. At OLS Ltd, there is. We’re a multi award winning family run business with an international reputation, a stable customer base, and a clear long term roadmap. No chaos. No red tape. No politics dressed up as "governance." Just a well run business that values structure, professionalism, and getting things right the first time. Here, your expertise is trusted. Your judgement has impact. Your ideas actually get implemented - not buried under layers of approval. We empower leaders rather than manage them. We value calm, accountable decision making, intelligent risk management, and honest communication.

If you’re tired of firefighting and want a role where you can build a best in class business services function, this might be the move you didn’t realise you were ready for. This is a hands on leadership role, based full time in our Doncaster office, for someone who cares about accuracy, ownership, improvement, and delivering exceptional service to both internal teams and our customers.
