Job Description

FP&A Manager

£55,000 – £65,000 + clear progression to become Head of FP&A

West Yorkshire | Hybrid | PE-backed | Manufacturing, Sales & Service

Some FP&A roles ask you to keep the ship steady. This one asks you to help rebuild and supercharge it.

This is a newly created FP&A Manager role in a fast-moving, PE-backed business with big ambitions. They're growing. Evolving. Investing. But they know their FP&A capability needs to level up — and that’s where you come in.

This isn’t a plug-and-play role.

You’ll join a unique business spanning manufacturing, sales and service, and help transform how they analyse, model, and drive commercial decisions across cost, margin, pricing, tenders, and profitability.

Here’s what’s in it for you:

A clear succession path – this isn’t a dead-end role; you’re being hired to ultimately become the future Head of FP&A

Shape FP&A from the ground up – get stuck into systems, processes and reporting that need work, and build something better

Put your mark on it – ideas are welcomed, not squashed. You’ll be heard, and your influence will be felt

Drive real commercial impact – work closely with sales, ops and leadership to support and shape strategic decisions

Less red tape, more action – fast decisions, less bureaucracy, more opportunity to lead and take ownership

What you’ll be doing:

• Own and evolve the FP&A function
• Improve forecasting, budgeting and modelling
• Build dashboards, improve processes, and deliver better insight
• Partner with senior stakeholders across sales, ops and finance
• Influence tenders, pricing, margin analysis and cost control
• Help the business sharpen its commercial edge and decision-making

What we’re looking for:

A commercially sharp finance professional — likely CIMA / ACCA / ACA qualified

Someone who thrives in imperfect environments — and loves fixing them

Confident with data, reporting, modelling and stakeholder engagement

An ideas person who enjoys business partnering, influence, and impact

Someone who’s ready to lead now — and grow into Head of FP&A soon

Why this role?

Because you’ll get ownership, autonomy, and a clear path to grow.

Because your ideas will be valued, not buried.

Because this is the rare role where you get to shape the future, not just report on the past.
