We're working with a market-leading manufacturer with multiple sites across the UK and Ireland. Following a period of exceptional growth, they're now creating a brand-new role within their commercial finance team and they're looking for an experienced Rebate Finance Manager to make it their own.

This is a unique opportunity to lead and develop a team, drive process improvements, and take ownership of rebate compliance across the entire organisation.

If you're a detail-driven accountant with strong commercial acumen and experience in rebates, this could be your perfect next step.

• Taking full ownership of rebate compliance - ensuring all agreements are properly approved, documented, and aligned with commercial terms.
• Leading monthly and quarterly reporting and reconciliations, delivering clear insights to the Group Financial Controller and senior leadership team.
• Dealing with rebate accruals and payments.
• Partnering cross-functionally with Sales, Credit Control, and other key teams to ensure accuracy and alignment on all rebate-related matters.
• Supporting internal and external audits, maintaining a clear audit trail and driving best-in-class governance.
• Identifying and delivering process improvements, automation, and systems upgrades to increase efficiency and accuracy.
• Managing and mentoring a team of 4 - 8 analysts and administrators, promoting development and high performance.

What We're Looking For

• A qualified or part-qualified accountant (CIMA / ACCA / ACA), or equivalent experience.
• A solid background in rebate management, ideally in a manufacturing or distribution environment.
• Confident working with ERP systems (e.g. SAP, Oracle, Sage) and advanced in Excel (pivot tables, lookups etc.).
• A strong communicator who thrives in a cross-functional role with senior stakeholder interaction.
• Proven leadership experience, someone who brings out the best in a team.

Key Success Measures

• Timely and accurate rebate accruals and payments
• Strong compliance and audit scores
• Fewer manual errors and faster issue resolution
• Team engagement, clarity, and development

What's in It for You?

• A competitive salary up to £45,000 (depending on experience)
• Hybrid working - 3 days in the office, 2 from home (after 6 months)
• 33 days annual leave (inclusive of bank holidays) - with increases based on service
• Health cash plan, company pension, and supportive team environment
• A chance to truly make your mark in a newly created role with room to grow
