We're looking for a commercially minded Finance Business Partner with experience in a manufacturing environment who wants to do more than produce reports. This is a role for someone who enjoys being close to the operational side of a business - working with leaders on the shop floor as well as in the boardroom, influencing decisions and turning financial data into insights that drive real performance. Based in Newcastle and reporting to the Financial Controller, you'll act as the bridge between finance and operations. You'll help managers understand what the numbers are really telling them, challenge assumptions, and ensure financial thinking supports day-to-day operational and strategic decisions. The Opportunity You'll work closely with operational teams and senior leaders to understand performance across the business. Your week might include reviewing KPIs with department heads, analysing production or cost variances, preparing management accounts, supporting forecasts and budgets, and helping evaluate investment decisions. A key part of the role is translating financial information into clear, practical insight that non-finance teams can act on. You'll help identify efficiencies, highlight risks and opportunities, and support strategic initiatives that improve profitability and operational performance. Because of the nature of the business, experience working in a manufacturing environment is essential. Understanding operational cost drivers, production performance, and working closely with operational teams will be critical to success in this role. About You You'll likely be a qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA or CIMA) or qualified by experience, with several years' experience in roles such as management accounting or finance business partnering. Most importantly, you'll have previous experience working in a manufacturing company, giving you a solid understanding of operational finance, cost drivers and performance metrics within a production environment. You're confident working with financial data and systems, but what really sets you apart is your ability to communicate clearly, build relationships and influence decisions outside the finance team. You enjoy working collaboratively, asking the right questions, and helping operational teams understand the financial impact of their decisions. Why This Role? This is an opportunity to step into a visible and commercially focused finance role where your insights will directly influence operational performance and strategic decisions. You'll work closely with leadership, gain exposure to key business initiatives, and play a central role in driving efficiency, profitability and continuous improvement.
