Base pay range
This is not a traditional commercial finance role - it is primarily cost-focused, with strong involvement in managing central costs including R&D, engineering, and corporate overheads. You will report into senior leadership and provide insightful, strategic financial support with a clear focus on cost control and process improvement.
We are seeking a highly skilled and proactive Financial Controller to join a leading global manufacturing company. This key role focuses on financial control and cost management, supporting R&D and engineering teams across multiple business units.
Description
Lead financial control for technology business units, focusing on budget management, cost reporting, and variance analysis.
Oversee and develop the cost management processes, including charge-out rates and project time allocation for engineering teams.
Partner closely with senior stakeholders (C-suite) to deliver accurate, timely financial insights.
Support strategic initiatives including budgeting, year-end reporting, and process optimisation.
Collaborate with tax teams to streamline complex cost structures and financial processes.
Drive improvements in financial systems and reporting tools; support the ongoing SAP transformation project.
Profile
Qualified accountant (ACA/ACCA/CIMA).
Strong people management skills, ideally with experience leading small teams.
Comfortable operating in a hands-on role where systems and processes may require development and improvement.
Ability to work collaboratively with global teams and support complex financial structures.
Familiarity with SAP or large ERP systems is desirable.
Strategic thinker with the ability to both "run the numbers" and develop the role for greater efficiency and impact.
Job Offer
Salary in the region of £55,000 to £70,000 DOE plus bonus.
Lease car option available (salary sacrifice scheme).
Flexible hybrid working policy (1 to 2 days on site).
