Finance Business Partner
Engineering/Manufacturing | Rapid growth | High impact
Help a fast-scaling Engineering/Manufacturing business turn data into decisive action. As a Finance Business Partner, you’ll be the go-to commercial voice in the room—building tools and insight that sharpen decision-making, accelerate growth, and keep programmes on track. You’ll sit shoulder-to-shoulder with leaders in Operations, HR, Sales and Programmes to shape plans, challenge assumptions, and deliver results.
What you’ll be doing
* Own robust FP&A: build models, track performance vs budget/forecast, and surface risks & opportunities with clarity.
* Lead the annual budget and quarterly re-forecast cycles; keep the live group forecast current and credible.
* Partner with HR to prepare and communicate labour & headcount analysis (Actuals vs Budget/Forecast).
* Create smart, scalable reporting—Power BI dashboards and Excel tools that give stakeholders the KPIs they need at a glance.
* Work with Sales & Programme teams to drive revenue milestones and support programme/business reviews with timely insight.
* Champion continuous improvement across finance processes, systems and reporting.
What you’ll bring
* Degree-level education and/or a professional qualification/training (ACA/ACCA/MBA/CFA etc.).
* Proven experience as a Finance Business Partner (ideally within engineering or a similar product/manufacturing environment).
* Advanced Excel and strong Power BI skills; confident with planning/analysis tools.
* A self-starter mindset—comfortable influencing cross-functional stakeholders and explaining complex financials to non-finance colleagues.
* Calm under pressure, great communicator, collaborative and outcomes-focused.
Why this role?
* Impact from day one: You’ll be integral to decisions that shape growth, investment and delivery.
* Build & scale: Leave your mark by designing tools, dashboards and processes that elevate performance.
* Momentum: Join during a rapid growth phase with complex, meaningful programmes to get stuck into.
Package: Competitive salary and benefits aligned to experience, with genuine scope to grow your remit as the business scales.
