Around 5-8+ years' finance experience, ideally within FMCG, manufacturing or another complex operational workplace.

n
A solid understanding of BOMs, routings, absorption, manufacturing variances and cost drivers.
n
Experience across budgeting, forecasting, P&L; and balance sheet management.

n
The ability to translate complex operational data into clear commercial insights and actions.
n
Confidence working with and constructively challenging senior operational stakeholders.
n
Experience with ERP and reporting tools; Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Power BI experience would be advantageous.
n

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of the finances of a manufacturing site while remaining closely connected to a broader Group Finance and Supply Chain function.
n
You'll be at the centre of decisions around manufacturing performance, productivity, investment, inventory and operational improvement. It would suit someone who enjoys combining the discipline of strong financial control with forward-looking commercial partnering, and who wants to see the impact of their work directly within the operation.
n
If you're an experienced manufacturing finance professional looking for a role where you can influence decisions, challenge performance and help drive operational and financial improvement, we'd love to hear from you.
