  • Deliver detailed cost analysis, margin reporting and variance analysis
  • Partner with production and supply chain teams to improve operational performance
  • Manage cash flow, working capital and financial controls
  • Ensure compliance with accounting standards and internal governance
  • Lead, mentor and develop the finance team

About You

  • Proven experience as a Finance Manager (or Senior Management Accountant ready to step up)
  • Strong manufacturing background with a solid understanding of cost control and operational finance
  • Commercially astute and confident influencing senior stakeholders
  • Hands-on, proactive and comfortable working on-site within a fast-paced environment

This is an excellent opportunity to take ownership of a finance function in a growing manufacturing business, right in the heart of Manchester.
