Job description

NHB Recruitment are partnering with a leading international FMCG manufacturer to appoint a Financial Controller for its flagship Dartford manufacturing site. This is a high-profile finance leadership position that combines responsibility for their manufacturing facilities with a broader European Operations Controller remit.

This is far more than a traditional factory finance role. You'll be a key member of both the site leadership team and the UK finance leadership team, reporting directly to the UK Finance Director and working closely with senior operational leaders across Europe. Approximately 70% of your focus will be leading finance for the Dartford manufacturing site, with the remaining 30% supporting wider European manufacturing operations through investment analysis, business cases, capital projects and operational performance improvement.

You'll become the financial voice of the factory, partnering closely with operations to improve performance while helping strengthen the connection between the site and the wider UK finance function

Alongside day-to-day controllership, you'll have the opportunity to

  • Lead financial support for a complex manufacturing operation.
  • Partner with site leadership to drive operational performance.
  • Support European investment projects and capital expenditure decisions.
  • Deliver manufacturing cost analysis and challenge operational performance.
  • Improve costing methodologies across production.
  • Modernise reporting and financial processes.
  • Help drive continuous improvement within an evolving finance function.

What We're Looking

  • Fully qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent).
  • Significant manufacturing or FMCG finance experience.
  • Previous Factory Controller, Plant Controller or Manufacturing Controller experience.
  • Strong knowledge of manufacturing costing and operational finance.
  • Experience supporting capital investment and business case development.
  • Confidence partnering senior operational stakeholders.
  • A proactive, hands-on leadership style with the ability to work independently.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to present confidently to senior leadership.
