This is a key leadership-facing role, offering strong visibility, genuine influence, and the chance to play a central part in driving operational and financial performance.

The Opportunity
Reporting to the Head of Finance, you will act as a business partner to site leadership, combining strong financial control with commercial insight. Key responsibilities will include:
*Leading month-end close and management reporting, delivering clear and actionable insight
*Owning balance sheet integrity, reconciliations, and audit readiness
*Partnering closely with operations to challenge costs, improve performance, and drive efficiencies
*Leading budgeting and forecasting, providing robust assumptions and scenario analysis
*Supporting capital investment decisions and maintaining strong governance across spend
*Developing and mentoring a direct report, ensuring high standards and continuous improvement
Is this right for you?*You’ll be a confident, qualified accountant who thrives in a fast-paced, hands-on environment:
*Possess a strong grounding in management reporting, controls, and forecasting
*Confident partnering with and challenging non-finance stakeholders
*Commercially aware, with the ability to translate numbers into insight
*Organised, detail-focused, and proactive in approach
*Manufacturing or operational experience beneficial, but not essential
*You’ll manage one direct report in this role — previous experience is advantageous, but not essential if you’re ready to take your first step into leadership.

This role offers the chance to move beyond traditional finance responsibilities into a position where you will actively shape performance, influence outcomes, and add real commercial value.

If you’re someone ambitious, driven, and keen to build a long-term career within a dynamic and evolving environment, this could be the ideal opportunity.
