- Acting as a true business partner – visible across the business, collaborating with Operations, Sales, and other senior stakeholders.
- Supporting internal controls, compliance, and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Representing the site at board level alongside the Finance Director.
Ideally you will be able to demonstrate the experience below:
- CIMA/ACCA/ACA qualified.
- Previous experience at Financial Controller/Finance Manager level
- Proven experience in manufacturing, retail, engineering or FMCG sectors would be advantageous although not essential.
- Someone who thrives in a high-energy, fast-moving multi-site environment.
- Strong communicator with a proactive, commercial mindset.
What’s on offer:
- £75,000–£85,000 DOE
- A chance to make a real impact at the group’s most critical site.
