Job Description

Join a large-scale operational business where finance is expected to challenge, influence and improve - not just report numbers.

If you enjoy using financial insight to influence operational and commercial decisions, this is the kind of finance role that keeps things interesting.

This newly created Senior Finance Business Partner role sits within a large industrial and logistics operation where finance plays a genuinely commercial role within the business. You'll work closely with operational leadership and senior stakeholders to improve reporting, support investment decisions, challenge performance and help shape future business strategy.

There's also significant investment underway in systems, automation and ERP transformation, giving you the opportunity to improve how finance supports the wider business while helping drive efficiencies and better decision-making.

Alongside the commercial aspect of the role, you'll lead and develop a small finance team and help embed a stronger business partnering approach across the operation.



Key responsibilities:

  • Partnering with operational and commercial stakeholders
  • Producing management accounts, KPIs and performance analysis
  • Supporting budgets, forecasts and investment decisions
  • Improving reporting, dashboards and financial visibility
  • Driving efficiencies and process improvements
  • Supporting ERP and automation projects
  • Leading and developing a small finance team


What they're looking for:

You'll likely be a qualified ACA, ACCA or CIMA accountant with strong management accounting and business partnering experience.

You should be comfortable working closely with non-finance stakeholders, using financial and operational data to drive better decisions and improving reporting, systems or finance processes.



Why this role stands out:

  • Newly created senior finance role
  • High visibility and influence across the business
  • Opportunity to shape reporting and business partnering
  • Major ERP and automation projects underway
  • Strong operational exposure
  • Leadership responsibility
  • Hybrid working and a 35-hour working week
  • Long-term investment and growth plans


Package:

  • 60,000 - 70,000 salary
  • Up to 10% annual bonus
  • 25 days holiday
  • Private medical insurance
  • Pension matched up to 7%
  • Hybrid working (4 days on-site, 1 from home)
  • 35-hour working week with flexibility around start and finish times
