You’ll be a qualified finance professional who combines strong technical accounting skills with commercial awareness and the confidence to challenge, influence and support stakeholders across the business.

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA or CIMA).
• Strong management accounting and financial reporting experience, in a manufacturing or similar environment.
• A solid understanding of operational cost drivers, production performance and KPIs.
• Strong Excel skills and the ability to turn complex data into clear, actionable insight.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving and communication skills.
• The confidence to build relationships with stakeholders at all levels and influence business decisions.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach, with a genuine interest in continuous improvement.

What's in It for You?

This is an excellent opportunity to step into a visible, commercially focused position where your work will have a direct impact on operational and financial performance.

• Company pension scheme.
• Private medical insurance.
• Enhanced sick pay.
• Discounted or free food.
• The opportunity to work closely with site leadership and influence key decisions.
• The chance to develop your commercial experience within an established international manufacturing business.
