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.

Resourcery Group work on behalf of a diverse range of businesses across the North West to identify, attract and recruit the very best in finance talent. With decades of experience and a wide network of contacts, Resourcery Group have the reach and market penetration to fill almost any role. Our detail-orientated and customer-centric approach ensures higher levels of retention, lowering attrition, in turn saving businesses time and money, whilst providing candidates with true career defining opportunities and the chance to develop over the longer-term. One of these key, high growth clients in Manchester has asked for our assistance in hiring several senior Finance Business Partner roles. The business has been growing incrementally, and in more recent years, exponentially. The trend is set to continue over the next few years thus driving the need for deeper commercial insight, more informed decision making and better internal collaboration and communication. In short, they need to hire more commercially-astute Finance Business Partners. A large turnover business (£BN), the Finance Business Partners sit alongside and work closely with the FP&A team and core finance, acting as the conduit for the flow of commercial insight and data from finance to non-finance stakeholders. FP&A and analysis skills are, of course, highly valued, as is experience of using BI and visualisation tools. But above all, it is the ability to interact with others that counts for most. Your emotional intelligence or EQ. Your gravitas, self awareness, ability to read the room, gauge the temperature, know what words are needed and when to use them (and when to not). Knowing when to push and when to roll over. When to plant the seed and walk away, or when to chop the tree down. EQ is hard to measure and even harder to convey on a CV. But EQ sits are the heart of all good and trusting relationships and to operate successfully as a business partner you have to be able to build relationships with a wide array of internal and external stakeholders. The ability to influence and drive and deliver change is essential. Working closely with the Exec team and SLT you will be influencing operational and commercial decisions across the business.

Resourcery Group work on behalf of a diverse range of businesses across the North West to identify, attract and recruit the very best in finance talent. With decades of experience and a wide network of contacts, Resourcery Group have the reach and market penetration to fill almost any role. Our detail-orientated and customer-centric approach ensures higher levels of retention, lowering attrition, in turn saving businesses time and money, whilst providing candidates with true career defining opportunities and the chance to develop over the longer-term. One of these key, high growth clients in Manchester has asked for our assistance in hiring several senior Finance Business Partner roles. The business has been growing incrementally, and in more recent years, exponentially. The trend is set to continue over the next few years thus driving the need for deeper commercial insight, more informed decision making and better internal collaboration and communication. In short, they need to hire more commercially-astute Finance Business Partners. A large turnover business (£BN), the Finance Business Partners sit alongside and work closely with the FP&A team and core finance, acting as the conduit for the flow of commercial insight and data from finance to non-finance stakeholders. FP&A and analysis skills are, of course, highly valued, as is experience of using BI and visualisation tools. But above all, it is the ability to interact with others that counts for most. Your emotional intelligence or EQ. Your gravitas, self awareness, ability to read the room, gauge the temperature, know what words are needed and when to use them (and when to not). Knowing when to push and when to roll over. When to plant the seed and walk away, or when to chop the tree down. EQ is hard to measure and even harder to convey on a CV. But EQ sits are the heart of all good and trusting relationships and to operate successfully as a business partner you have to be able to build relationships with a wide array of internal and external stakeholders. The ability to influence and drive and deliver change is essential. Working closely with the Exec team and SLT you will be influencing operational and commercial decisions across the business.
