The Role Operating with high levels of autonomy, you will take full ownership of the site's financial performance. This isn't just about month-end reporting; it's about being a visible, proactive partner to the leadership team. Key Responsibilities: Operational Partnering: Work closely with Production, Supply Chain, and Engineering managers to investigate variances and improve "Cost of Performance." Standard Costing & BOM: Maintain and interrogate Bills of Materials (BOM) and Work in Progress (WIP) to ensure accurate product costing and margin protection. Financial Control: Lead the month-end process to a strict 4-day deadline, ensuring robust balance sheet reconciliations and statutory compliance. Strategic Planning: Drive the annual bottom-up budgeting process and provide rolling quarterly forecasts that align with global objectives. Digital Fluency: Leverage ERP systems and BI tools (such as Power BI) to automate reporting and provide real-time visibility into site KPIs. Statutory Oversight: Manage local requirements including VAT, Intrastat, and R&D tax credit data collection. About You You are a "self-starter" who thrives in a manufacturing environment. You enjoy getting away from your desk to understand the stories behind the numbers. Requirements: Qualified Accountant: ACCA, ACA, or CIMA qualified. Manufacturing Pedigree: Proven experience in a manufacturing or engineering environment would be advantageous (understanding of standard costing, yield, and scrap is highly advantageous). Systems Savvy: Advanced Excel skills and experience with ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Navision, or Business Central). Communication: Ability to influence and challenge non-financial stakeholders effectively. Analytical Mindset: A dedication to continuous improvement and the ability to simplify complex data into actionable insights. Travel: Occasional travel will be required and by this we do mean occasional and not weekly (Mexico/Singapore/USA) Why Join Us? This role offers the best of both worlds: the stability and resources of a global organisation, combined with the autonomy and visible impact of a site-based lead role. You will be part of a forward-thinking team that values professional development and digital innovation.
