* Budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning
* Maintain strong financial controls and governance
* Business partner with operations to improve margins, labour efficiency, and cost performance
* Provide insight on KPIs including scrap, yield, and productivity
* Support capital expenditure appraisals and business cases
About You

* Background in manufacturing or a product-led environment
* Strong commercial acumen with the confidence to influence and challenge
* Hands-on, operationally engaged approach
* Previous experience in a site-based management accounting role
