Job description

Resourcery Group are recruiting for a sub-£20m PE-backed engineering business based near Salford. The business has undergone significant change since a recent PE investment and the need has arisen for a Head of Finance to work in partnership with the Site MD, reporting to the Portfolio CFO.

A broad role, the Head of Finance will be responsible for a small but capable finance team (4 heads) driving site performance improvements. Working capital focused, cost-orientated, the Head of Finance will help direct and guide the Site MD to grow the business profitably ensuring cost efficiency and tight cash flow management. Experience of invoice discounting, risk management, cash flow management and reporting to a PE house would be beneficial.

Applicants should be:

• ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
• Possess extensive manufacturing/engineering experience
• Capable of working autonomously and in support of a site MD
• Capable of facing off to a PE house
• Able to work in a hands-on manner

This is a broad and autonomous Head of Finance role in a growing and changing environment. The PE house has embarked on a buy and build strategy so there is likely scope to be involved in further acquisitions, integrations and change.
