Offer description

Job Description

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to join a manufacturing Start-Up as they look to scale and grow.

Yes it's a newly founded business, but you'll join a leadership team with significant industry experience and a strong, already-established project pipeline.

As the company's first finance hire, this position will be "all hands on deck", including...

* Preparing and presenting high-quality management reports
* Handling day-to-day accounting matters (Payables and Receivables)
* Building the finance function from scratch
* Handling supply chain relations

The successful candidate will need...

* To be ACCA, ACA, or CIMA fully qualified
* To have experience of working within a project-centric environment- be this Manufacturing, Construction or Engineering (any knowledge of PFI would be great but not essential!)
* Commercial nous, as you will be liaising closely/ business partnering with the board
* To be extremely systems savvy- any experience of using AI to sharpen processes would be an advantage
* To be comfortable in what is a hands-on and initially "stand alone" finance role

And you will receive...

* Flexible working arrangements (purely office-based to begin with, but with the option of a couple of days from home once settled)
* Equity within a very ambitious business
* The opportunity to shape the finance function
* 25 days' leave + Bank Holiday
* Free parking

There's so many more good things to say about this one, so please drop me a message directly if you'd like to discuss it further- though please note that we are looking to prepare a shortlist for this one within the next week!

Harvey John is acting as an Employment Agency in relation to this vacancy. The salary bracket advertised is FTE, for guidance only. We are committed to continued improvement in terms of diversity and inclusion practices. Please get in touch with any questions concerning reasonable adjustments, accommodations, or diversity practices.
