The initial contract is expected to last approximately six months, with the potential to extend depending on project requirements.

  • Gather, cleanse, reconcile and analyse cost data from multiple systems, manufacturing sites and stakeholders.
  • \n
  • Develop consistent standard costing methodologies across products, production lines and manufacturing processes.
  • \n
  • Analyse raw material, packaging, labour, energy and manufacturing overhead costs.
  • \n
  • Review and validate Bills of Materials, production routings, labour assumptions and operational data.
  • \n
  • Identify inaccuracies, inconsistencies and gaps within existing costing information.
  • \n
  • Work with site Finance and Operations teams to understand manufacturing processes and cost drivers.
  • \n
  • Build detailed financial models and conduct scenario and sensitivity analysis.
  • \n
  • Assess the impact of changes in materials, labour, production volumes, efficiency and overhead recovery.
  • \n
  • Support pricing, margin and profitability analysis.
  • \n
  • Present findings, recommendations and project progress to senior finance and operational stakeholders.
  • \n
  • Establish processes and controls to ensure the costing model remains accurate, sustainable and fit for purpose.
  • \n
  • Support the implementation and embedding of the completed model across the relevant business areas.
  • \n
Essential Experience\n
    \n
  • Previous experience building or implementing a manufacturing cost model.
  • \n
  • Recent and demonstrable experience within food manufacturing.
  • \n
  • Strong knowledge of standard costing within a manufacturing environment.
  • \n
  • Experience analysing material, labour and manufacturing overhead costs.
  • \n
  • Good understanding of Bills of Materials, routings, production processes and operational cost drivers.
  • \n
  • Advanced financial modelling and data analysis skills.
  • \n
  • Strong Excel skills and experience working with significant volumes of data.
  • \n
  • Commercially astute, with the ability to translate complex financial information into practical recommendations.
  • \n
  • Confident working cross-functionally with Finance, Operations, Engineering, Supply Chain and Commercial teams.
  • \n
  • Comfortable travelling between UK manufacturing sites as required.
  • \n
Desirable Experience\n
    \n
  • A recognised accounting qualification such as CIMA, ACCA or ACA.
  • \n
  • Experience working across several manufacturing plants.
  • \n
  • Experience improving costing processes, systems or ERP data.
  • \n
  • Previous finance transformation, project accounting or interim finance experience.
  • \n
Personal Profile\n

The successful person will be hands-on, analytical and commercially focused. You will need to challenge existing assumptions, investigate discrepancies and build strong working relationships with both finance and non-finance stakeholders.

\n

This role requires someone who can quickly understand complex manufacturing operations and turn fragmented information into a clear, credible and sustainable costing model.
