Director | Recruiting Finance Professionals for Manufacturing Businesses | North West
This company is a leading UK-based manufacturer with a global footprint and a long-standing reputation for quality, innovation, and sustainability. Still proudly family-owned, the business operates a fully integrated production model across several UK locations. Its facilities range from advanced manufacturing sites to inspiring showrooms and despite its size and scale it maintains a close-knit, values-driven culture where people are empowered, supported, and encouraged to grow.
About the Role
This is a newly created position, reporting directly to the Finance Director, with a dotted line to the Operations Director, a recent hire with an impressive, progressive background.
Given that the finance team has historically had limited commercial resources, this role presents an excellent opportunity for value addition in both the short and long term across multiple sites. Initially, responsibilities will focus on the largest and most complex site (with a £40M turnover and the highest SKU count). You’ll be partnering with production, supply chain, sales, involved heavily in costings, and essentially driving numbers to support strategic decisions, and working on several short- and long-term projects.
Looking ahead, the progression route is clear: once tangible results are achieved, there will be scope to expand this role, potentially replicating the model across other sites, with the incumbent taking the lead.
Candidate Requirements
* Have manufacturing experience to demonstrate your expertise and value in partnering with production sites.
* Significant experience in costings, WIP, stock, all things production are essential
* Have worked in an autonomous role, as you will be shaping this position with guidance from the FD and Operations Director.
* Possess strong Excel skills and experience with ERP systems, any experience or involvement in system implementation would be highly desirable.
* Drive long-term improvements by building and leading a team, supporting operational leaders across multiple sites.
* Qualified, qualified by experience or part qualified considered, study support will be provided.
This position has a very competitive salary attached, to be discussed on application, with a strong progressive future. Benefits are advanced including holidays and pension, the culture is very family oriented and the business has impressive leaders to learn from.
