Job description

Immediate start (April / May 2025). This is a project for a senior finance professional who loves manufacturing. You love the pace of it, the business facing nature of the role, working with colleagues across the production facilities, being in factory morning meetings, being that vital bridge between finance and the factory leadership team / site GMs.

You need to have extensive experience of operational financial roles / senior business partnering. You’ll be someone with lots of examples of working in a production setting providing MI to influence great decision making and planning.

The remit is focused on site optimisation (in a modern, large scale £200m t/o facility).

Working through the P&L – speaking to the ops teams to bring real world commentary to the P&L pack daily.

You’ll provide insight into variances, KPIs, spend ROI, cost trends, margin erosion… commercially valuable MI from across the factories.

This is a modern PLC – a site which is flying and has enjoyed significant investment.

There’s plenty to get stuck into.

Required:

• Previous success as a senior FBP / Operationally focused FC in a manufacturing setting (ideally FMCG).
• CIMA or equivalent.
• Ability to communicate confidently with a non finance audience.
• Someone who enjoys being away from the desk – out in the belly of the production environment.
• Commercial acumen and a real world awareness of what drives success and failure in a large manufacturing business.
