If you're a finance leader who wants more than just reporting numbers, this role gives you a seat at the table where decisions happen. You'll shape how we manage millions in stock, optimise cash flow, and keep global production running smoothly.
Because when you influence working capital and inventory strategy at this scale, you're not just protecting margins - you're driving the business forward. You'll have the freedom to design processes, challenge old ways of working, and introduce smarter ways to manage stock and production costs. Right now, that means one direct report, but as the function matures, you'll have the chance to shape and grow an operational finance team around your vision.
Lead the financial strategy for working capital, stock management, and the Global Production Centre (GPC).
Keep a close eye on inventory performance - cover, obsolescence risk, and making sure we're not drowning in excess stock.
Own the financial control of GPC, from cost optimisation to investment planning.
Partner with senior stakeholders in Commercial, Supply Chain, and Ops to make sure decisions are backed by solid financial insight.
Ensure reporting is accurate, timely, and audit-ready.
You'll be the person who spots risks before they become problems and finds opportunities others miss.
Working capital improves - inventory days, stock turns, cash conversion cycle.
Financial controls are tight, audits are smooth.
A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
Deep knowledge of inventory and cost accounting principles.
Experience in operational finance - ideally retail, FMCG, or supply chain environments.
Strong analytical and modelling skills - you'll need to turn complex data into clear decisions.
A track record of improving working capital and financial controls.
You'll be building and shaping a team, so you'll need to coach, develop, and set a clear vision for how operational finance adds value.
Bonus points if you've worked in global or multi-site supply chains, know your way around production costing, or have led cost optimisation initiatives.
Pension contributions - because future-you deserves a break.
