Operational Finance Business Partner
Staffordshire (Dual Site, Hybrid Working)
c.£60,000 + Benefits
Elevation are partnering with a well-invested, market-leading manufacturing business in Staffordshire to recruit an Operational Finance Business Partner.
This is a business with strong backing, clear strategic direction and an appetite for growth. As part of a wider UK group, they benefit from the stability and resource of a larger organisation, while still retaining an agile, entrepreneurial feel on site. Investment into operations, systems and people has been a real focus, and finance is seen as a key driver of performance rather than simply reporting the numbers.
This is a dual-site role, primarily based at one location with occasional travel to the second, offering hybrid flexibility. You’ll sit at the heart of operations, partnering closely with site leadership to provide insight on production performance, cost drivers and operational KPIs.
You’ll take ownership of monthly management reporting, lead detailed variance analysis across labour, materials and overheads, and ensure robust costing and inventory control. Alongside this, you’ll play a key role in budgeting and forecasting, translating operational plans into clear financial targets and supporting longer-term growth initiatives.
Crucially, this isn’t just about month-end. The business is looking for someone who will challenge constructively, spot opportunities to improve margin and efficiency, and help drive continuous improvement across the sites.
We’re keen to speak with qualified accountants (ACA, ACCA or CIMA) or those qualified by experience, with strong manufacturing exposure and a commercially focused mindset. You’ll need the confidence to influence senior operational stakeholders and the credibility to operate both on the shop floor and in leadership discussions.
If you’re looking for a visible, value-adding role in a growing manufacturing environment, apply now or get in touch with Chris Ridgway for a confidential conversation.
