• Work closely with the Production Director to develop Manufacturing KPI's to maintain a keen focus on Factory efficiencies and Stock inventory levels.
• Review Client Contracts and support new business Tenders.
• Manage all key professional stakeholder relationships - Bank, Funders, Auditors etc.

As stated, the successful candidate will be aqualified accountant operating either as a Fractional FD (or someone seeking a part-time Perm role) with strong Manufacturing sector experience who is able to commit 2-3 days/week ongoing with potential to possibly increase going forward.

The salary indicator will be pro rata c £100k + Bonus/Benefits.
