About the Role

As a Site Finance Partner, you will play a key role in shaping the financial and operational performance of the site. Working closely with Site Leadership and cross-functional teams, you will translate financial and operational data into insights that support better decisions, stronger cost performance and delivery of the site's strategic priorities.

This is a highly collaborative and visible role, combining strong financial partnering with hands‑on work to support site operations. You will challenge constructively, identify risks and opportunities, and help turn financial insights into actions that create sustainable value.

This role requires a regular on‑site presence of at least three days per week, reflecting the importance of close partnership with site leadership and operational teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Business Partnering & Financial Leadership: Act as a trusted finance partner to site leaders, providing financial insight, constructive challenge and recommendations to support operational and strategic decision‑making.

• Planning & Forecasting: Lead and support budgeting, forecasting and financial planning activities, ensuring robust assumptions and alignment with site and business priorities.

• Performance Management: Analyze financial and operational performance, clearly articulating key drivers, risks and opportunities and driving timely actions with business partners.

• Cost & Productivity: Champion strong cost management and financial discipline, partnering with teams to identify and deliver sustainable productivity and efficiency opportunities.

• Decision & Investment Support: Provide robust financial analysis for business cases, investments, projects and other key site decisions.

• Financial Governance & Controls: Ensure strong financial governance and compliance with GSK policies, processes and controls, supporting internal and external audit requirements.

• Continuous Improvement: Bring a proactive improvement mindset, using data and financial insight to challenge existing ways of working and identify opportunities to improve site performance.

• Cross‑functional Collaboration: Build trusted relationships across Finance, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain and other site functions, connecting financial outcomes with operational drivers.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business, or a related discipline.

• 5+ years of relevant Finance experience, ideally within a manufacturing, supply chain, or operational environment.

• Financial planning, forecasting and performance management experience.

• Experience working with financial systems and analytical tools such as SAP and Excel.

• Analytical capability, with the ability to translate complex financial and operational information into clear insights and actionable recommendations.

• Ability to work effectively in a site‑based, cross‑functional environment.

• Ability to work on site at least three days per week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Professional Finance qualification such as CIMA, ACCA, ACA, CPA, or equivalent.

• Experience partnering with senior operational or business leaders.

• Strong communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to constructively challenge and engage stakeholders at different levels.

• Proactive, curious and results‑oriented mindset, with the ability to operate independently while contributing strongly to a broader team.

• Experience supporting manufacturing cost, productivity, capital investment, or continuous improvement initiatives.

• Knowledge of relevant accounting standards, including IFRS and/or US GAAP.

Why This Role

This is an opportunity to work at the heart of site decision making, where Finance is much more than reporting the numbers. You will help connect operational performance with financial outcomes, influence key decisions and partner with teams to improve the site's performance and create sustainable value.
