Job Description
Not your typical Finance Manager role
This is an opportunity to take ownership of finance for a developing industrial plant, not just reporting numbers, but helping shape how the site operates and performs.
You ll be the go-to finance lead on site, working closely with operations and senior leadership to build structure, drive insight, and influence performance from the ground up.
The role:
Based in the Wilton Centre, you ll act as the link between operations and Group Finance, with responsibility for:
Owning and overseeing site financial reporting and forecasting
Providing clear insight into production performance, cost drivers and profitability
Working closely with the Operational Asset Manager and CTO to support decision-making
Overseeing outsourced management accounts and ensuring accuracy and control
Building and embedding processes, controls and reporting frameworks as the site develops
Supporting CAPEX / OPEX decisions and ongoing improvement initiatives
This is a hands-on role in a developing environment; you ll be visible on site, working alongside operational teams, not sat behind a desk.
What we re looking for:
Qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA)
Experience in a plant or site-based finance role within manufacturing
Strong background in financial reporting, forecasting and analysis
Comfortable working closely with operations and understanding production environments
Most importantly, you ll be:
Hands-on and proactive
Confident asking questions and challenging where needed
Comfortable working in an evolving, less structured environment
Someone who enjoys being on-site and part of the operation
Why this role stands out:
Genuine ownership of finance for a live industrial site
Opportunity to build and shape the finance function
Work closely with senior operational leadership
Be part of a business developing cutting-edge technology in the circular economy space
Package:
Excellent base salary
Company bonus
Long-term incentive scheme (RSUs)
Private medical, pension and life assurance
Interested?
If you re currently in a site-based finance role and looking for something more hands-on, with real ownership and visibility, this could be a great next step.
