Job Introduction

Listed on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, MJ Gleeson plc has a strong financial position and a unique business model with continued opportunities for long term sustainable growth.

The Group comprises 2 trading divisions, Gleeson Homes and Gleeson Land. Gleeson Homes specialises in affordable, high-quality homes where they are needed for the people who need them most. We provide new homes across the North of England and the Midlands helping our customers to achieve their dream of home ownership, wealth creation and the benefits of better health and well being that come from living in a modern, energy-efficient home. Gleeson Land specialises in promoting land through the complex planning system, securing attractive residential planning consents on land mainly in the South of England, which is supplied to other housebuilders to meet their increasing need for high-quality consented sites.

We are, and expect to continue to be, a company which can provide a range of development opportunities to those within our team who are keen to progress and capable of doing so.

The Role

Gleeson Homes is looking for a Regional Finance Business Partner to work closely alongside the Greater Manchester & Merseyside Regional management team which forms part of our Central Division. This finance role will be based predominantly in the Regional office, although will require periodic visits to other Regional offices in the Division and the Head office in Sheffield to build and maintain excellent relationships with operational teams.

The Regional Finance Business Partner will also have a key role in the budget setting and forecasting process, working with the Senior Finance Business Partner and Central Finance team at site, Regional and Divisional levels.

The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator, able to present complex financial information to operational teams in a simple, clear and concise manner, both verbally and written. This will also require the ability to extract and manipulate data, both financial and non-financial, from the COINs ERP system.

They will be an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual, able to support change and drive targets to facilitate the successful growth of the Region.

The Main Responsibilities

• Key member of the Finance team, working alongside existing Senior and Regional Finance Business Partners and supporting the Homes FD
• Work closely with the Regional Managing Director providing and interpreting financial and operational KPI’s to help inform operational decision making and driving actions where needed
