You will join a growing, internationally backed manufacturing business as the number two in finance, working closely with an experienced Finance Director who is committed to developing their successor.

• Proven experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Strong track record of managing full financials (P&L, balance sheet and cashflow)
• Confident in budgeting, forecasting and financial modelling
• Commercially astute with the ability to influence non-finance stakeholders
• Experience leading or developing teams
• Comfortable operating in a hands-on, site-based role
