You will need: Experience in FMCG, food manufacturing, drink manufacturing or a closely related consumer goods environment Strong understanding of stock, costings, margins and variance analysis Experience preparing management accounts Good commercial awareness and curiosity beyond the numbers Confidence working with operations and non-finance stakeholders Strong Excel and reporting skills A hands-on approach suited to a growing SME The ambition to develop into a more senior finance leadership role Experience with food production, grocery, wholesale, retail supply, D2C, stock systems or ERP improvements would be advantageous. Why This Role Stands Out This is a rare opportunity to join a scaling FMCG business where finance is central to the next phase of growth. You will benefit from: Direct mentoring from an experienced interim FD Exposure to the MD and senior leadership team A clear route towards greater responsibility The chance to influence how finance supports the business A broad role covering financial control, commercial finance and operational finance The opportunity to help improve margins, cashflow, reporting and decision-making A business that is growing, ambitious and investing in its future This role would suit someone who is ambitious, commercially minded and ready to move into a position with greater influence.
