Job description
  • A board-level role with a growth story - join a business rebuilding and help drive the plan to double it.
  • A great benefits package which includes private healthcare, share incentives, and a bonus structure.

This is a broad role, and a step up from a traditional FD position. Alongside full ownership of the finance function (management and statutory accounts, cash, forecasting, and group reporting), you'll also lead IT, purchasing and inventory, giving you real influence over how the whole business runs.

You'll sit on the board, partner closely with the MD, and have the kind of end-to-end commercial exposure that's hard to find in a larger, more siloed organisation. The MD is clear that he wants an honest second voice in the business - someone who'll challenge him, not defer to him.

You’d be working for a manufacturer of precision engineering technology, selling globally through direct sales and an international channel network. With new product development restarted, a new ERP system, a new product range being launched, and an ambitious three-year plan to double the business, it’s a fantastic time to get involved.

What you\'ll get your teeth into:

  • Full ownership of finance - management and statutory accounts, cash, forecasting, and group reporting
  • Purchasing and inventory, brought together with finance for the first time - a long-neglected area with a lot of low-hanging fruit
  • Getting real value from a newly live ERP system, using it to reduce stock, improve working capital and give the sales team better cost and lead-time information
  • IT oversight, working alongside an in-house IT lead and third-party support
  • A seat at the table on strategic projects - from a new channel for lower-value orders, to financial modelling for new market moves including a proposed international joint venture
  • Building and developing a team as the business reinvests in growth

What we\'re looking for:

  • ACA, ACCA or CIMA qualified
  • 5+ years in senior finance, including time as a Financial Controller, FD or Head of Finance in an SME
  • Comfortable operating hands-on with a small team - doing the detail as well as leading
  • Strong ERP experience, ideally SAP, with the confidence to drive system adoption
  • Commercial acumen - able to partner sales on pricing, margin and deal support
  • A manufacturing, engineering or inventory-led background

You\'ll thrive in this role if you want more than just a traditional FD job. If you\'re commercial, curious, and want to help build something rather than just report on it, get in touch!
