Senior Finance Manager - FP&A & Commercial

Paisley | Hybrid Working (3 Days Office / 2 Days Home)

Competitive Salary + Benefits

Early Finish Every Friday

Are you a qualified accountant who wants to influence business strategy rather than report on it?

We're exclusively partnering with Scottish Leather Group, a well-established and highly successful manufacturing business, to appoint a Senior Finance Manager - FP&A & Commercial. This is a high-profile opportunity for an ambitious finance leader looking to take ownership of financial planning, commercial analysis and business partnering activities within a growing organisation.

Reporting to the Head of Finance, you'll play a key role in helping senior leaders understand performance, improve profitability and make better commercial decisions. Sitting at the heart of the business, you'll work closely with commercial, operational and executive stakeholders, providing insight, challenge and support that drives performance and growth.

This is an ideal opportunity for a commercially focused accountant who enjoys getting into the detail, influencing decision-making and adding real value beyond the numbers.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the annual budget, forecasting and long-range planning processes.
• Drive financial planning and analysis activities across the business.
• Develop robust financial models, scenario planning and sensitivity analysis.
• Partner with commercial and sales teams to improve pricing, profitability and margin performance.
• Deliver insightful management reporting and performance analysis to senior leadership.
• Support investment decisions, business cases and strategic initiatives.
• Identify financial risks and opportunities and ensure they are reflected in forecasts and plans.
• Drive automation and continuous improvement across reporting, forecasting and planning processes.
• Lead and develop a small FP&A and Commercial Finance team.
• Present meaningful financial insight to senior leadership, helping shape strategic decision-making.

About You

We're keen to speak with proactive and commercially minded finance professionals who enjoy challenging the status quo and making a measurable impact.

You will ideally possess:

• Professional qualification (ICAS, CA, ACA, ACCA or CIMA).
• Strong experience within FP&A, commercial finance or finance business partnering.
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills.
• The ability to translate complex financial information into clear commercial recommendations.
• Experience leading and developing teams.
• Strong analytical, forecasting and financial modelling capabilities.
• A track record of driving improvements in reporting, forecasting and business performance.
• Manufacturing, engineering, FMCG or product-based industry experience would be highly advantageous but is not essential.

Most importantly, you'll be someone who takes ownership, builds relationships across the business and actively seeks opportunities to improve performance rather than waiting for them to arrive.

What's on Offer?

• Competitive salary and benefits package.
• Hybrid working model (3 days in the office / 2 days at home).
• Early finish every Friday.
• Significant exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making.
• Opportunity to lead, influence and drive change.
• A visible role within a successful and growing manufacturing business.
