Ready to do more than just report the numbers?
We're a growing manufacturing business on an exciting journey-and we're looking for a passionate Cost Accountant who wants to be right at the heart of it.

• Analysing variances, margins, and efficiencies-and explaining the story behind the numbers
• Partnering with production and operational teams to improve performance and profitability
• Supporting budgeting, forecasting, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Providing clear, commercially focused insight to help leaders make better decisions

The successful candidate

• Experience within a manufacturing or similar environment
• Someone who's curious, commercially minded, and eager to challenge the status quo
• A confident communicator who enjoys working with non-finance stakeholders
• A professional who wants to make a genuine impact

On offer

• A salary to 49,000
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours
• Hybrid working
• Buy annual leave scheme
• Death in service
• Discount scheme
• Professional development
• Real exposure to decision-makers and the chance to influence strategy
• A collaborative, down-to-earth culture that values ideas and initiative
• The opportunity to build something, not just maintain it
