hands-on Management Accountant
to join the business following a recent acquisition.
This is a newly created role designed to strengthen the link between
operations and finance
across two manufacturing sites. The position offers significant scope to influence performance, improve processes and deliver meaningful commercial insight.
If you want a role where you can get onto the shop floor, understand how products are built, and directly impact profitability — this is that opportunity.

* Identifying improvement opportunities and driving corrective action
* Translating operational data into clear financial insight
There are genuine quick wins to be made and real opportunity to shape systems, controls and performance.
About You
* Manufacturing or engineering finance background (essential)
* Part-qualified (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) or qualified by experience
* Strong Excel and ERP/MRP knowledge
* Confident communicator, comfortable working with operational teams
* Commercially curious, proactive and hands-on
You will need to be comfortable travelling to the Telford site once per week and building strong on-site relationships.
