Job description

We're looking for a Finance Manager who can combine sharp financial insight with strong business partnering to help drive our organisation forward. Join a trusted, passionate Finance & Purchasing team at the heart of the business-where your expertise, ideas and ambition will make a real impact.

You'll need to be a qualified accountant with strong financial planning, reporting and controlling experience, and a genuine passion for partnering across the business. You'll lead the preparation of budgets, forecasts and management accounts, support key departments in understanding and controlling their finances, and play a major role in managing significant commercial budgets.

You'll bring excellent communication and presentation skills, solid Excel capability, and proven project management experience. Motivated by change and continuous improvement, you'll be comfortable influencing stakeholders, analysing performance, and finding smarter ways of working. Knowledge of Oracle Financials or Power BI is a bonus.

If you're commercially minded, collaborative, and ready to shape financial decisions at a strategic level-this is your opportunity to grow, stretch and make a difference.

Ideally you'll already be working at this level and are looking for a change to support further development and a growth. You might be a complete petrol head (which is great, but you don't have to be), love innovation and believe that there's 'Always a better way' or share our values and ethos around mobility and the environment - If that sounds like something you'd like to be a part of, then read on for more info and detail about the position in the Job Profile.
