  • Attending operational meetings as the finance representative, providing appropriate support and constructive challenge.
  • Maintaining accurate information across the ERP and management-information systems.
  • Ensuring robust financial controls and company policies are followed.
  • Supporting wider finance teams and completing ad hoc analysis as required.

The successful candidate will:

  • Be qualified, part-qualified or actively studying towards CIMA, ACCA or ACA.
  • Bring relevant management accounting, analysis or finance business-partnering experience.
  • Be confident working with operational and non-financial stakeholders.
  • Have strong analytical skills and the ability to turn complex data into clear, meaningful information.
  • Be highly organised and comfortable working to tight reporting deadlines.
  • Possess advanced Excel skills, with experience handling and analysing large datasets.
  • Be collaborative, commercially curious and comfortable constructively challenging stakeholders.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a successful, complex manufacturing environment where finance plays a central role in operational decision-making. The position offers broad exposure across site performance, budgeting, forecasting and continuous improvement, making it well suited to someone looking to further develop their commercial finance and business-partnering experience.
