Job description

Would you like a job as Senior Finance Business Partner to the ambitious Senior Leadership Team of a cutting-edge, high-growth technology company in Galway operating at the forefront of a highly complex and innovative industry?

We are looking for an analytically-minded and strategically-focused accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA qualified) to partner directly with the CFO and CEO, and lead the financial planning, budgeting and performance analysis of this unique company.

Your impact on their success:

Working closely with the CFO, a highly accomplished Big Four-trained ACA professional with an outstanding track record across multinational and founder-led technology and manufacturing businesses, you will advise and influence the senior managers, executives and board members on strategic, commercial and operational decisions. By delivering actionable financial insights to drive profitability and enhance cost efficiencies, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the company's ambitious growth trajectory, with revenue targeted to increase from less than €10 million now to €1 billion by 2031!

Optimising your Finance Business Partnering skills:

An accomplished Finance Business Partner, you will employ your proven financial analysis & commercial skills to lead annual budgeting, forecasting, scenario planning, investor due diligence, capital allocation strategies and multi-year forecasting & modelling. At a more strategic level, you will also support fundraising, partnership negotiations, high-priority corporate development projects and investor relations.

Supporting the manufacturing operation, you will analyse macro cost trends, BOM analysis and margin performance across product lines and business units, and translate to actionable recommendations for executive leaders to enhance commercial profitability.

Working for a company that undertakes large commercial projects, you will call upon your established skills in project financial management & grant support, partnering with project teams to track spend, commercial performance metrics, and financial performance against milestones.

And supporting new, innovative product designs, you will be adept at creating advanced quantitative modelling using Power BI and other modern FP&A planning platforms to evaluate potential investments, commercial projects and capital expenditure, while also optimising pricing strategies and effective decision making.

An exciting time to join:

With 14 years of established operations behind it, the company is now approaching a significant period of expansion. Its new manufacturing facility is expected to reach full production by 2028, supported by strong backing from government agencies, customers and private investors across Ireland and Europe. The business benefits from an exceptionally strong leadership team, comprising former directors of blue-chip multinational corporations, providing the experience, expertise and management capability needed to deliver on its ambitious growth plans.

Your rewards:

Alongside a highly influential role in a company poised for exceptional growth, you'll enjoy an excellent package, flexible start and finish times, and 24 days' annual leave.
