Ready to fast-track your finance career? This is your next big step. Join a business on a clear growth path, and put your energy, curiosity and eye for technology to work shaping its financial future. You'll help guide the next phase of growth across global markets - building serious expertise in multi-entity finance and strategic planning far faster than you would in a typical role at this stage. This isn't a seat-warming job. You'll be the most senior finance person in the business, working directly alongside the MD. That means getting stuck in - approving payments, reviewing revenue recognition, going through every invoice that needs a judgment call. Small team, high trust, real autonomy. Alongside the day-to-day, you'll be shaping how we run the business: improving our systems and reporting, connecting our data into something we can actually use, and helping us build the financial infrastructure to support international growth. What you'll do You'll investigate, summarise, report on, and recommend improvements - getting your insights in front of senior leadership from day one. You'll support the finance team in delivering a high-quality service to all stakeholders, with plenty of scope to grow into leading it. You'll work closely with the MD, getting involved in coaching P&L managers and supporting decisions that shape the company's future - brilliant experience to have on your CV early in your career. You'll take on financial management across international entities, with genuine opportunities to get involved in new market entries and expansion. You'll also get exposure to shared services, helping make sure HR, IT and facilities support the business rather than slow it down. With recent acquisitions in play, you'll be part of the team driving financial integration - a great chance to build experience in an area many finance professionals don't see until much later in their career. What you'll need Qualified accountant with solid experience as the number one finance person in an SME Manufacturing background - you understand stock, production costs and supply chains Hands-on by nature - comfortable doing the work, not just directing it Curious about technology - we'd love someone who gets excited about better dashboards and smarter data, not someone waiting for an IT department to fix things The kind of person who'll tell the MD no when it matters About the company They're a world-leading designer and manufacturer of advanced scientific instruments. Join at an exciting stage of growth, with real scope to grow alongside the business.

Our initial commercial focus is the wind industry, with a beachhead in life extension and repowering projects for existing direct-drive turbines. Our core modular permanent magnet generator technology is intended to improve how large electrical machines are designed, manufactured, transported, maintained and repaired. Beyond this core product, CGEN aims to develop a wider portfolio of generator and motor topologies for applications where efficiency, maintainability, scalability and low-speed operation are critical. CGEN is a small, growing start-up with an ambitious technical roadmap, active commercial and grant-funded projects, and plans to raise further investment as we move towards larger-scale manufacturing and field-trial activity. Our primary market is wind energy, supported by work across hydro, wave and tidal energy. We are also investigating the suitability of our technologies for marine propulsion and other emerging high-torque, low-speed applications. Training, mentoring and career development are core parts of CGEN s approach. As the company grows, team members will have opportunities to build specialist expertise, lead major workstreams and help shape the products, engineering processes and culture of the business.

Instead, the Business Operations Manager will help coordinate these areas, keep actions moving, improve internal systems and ensure that CGEN has the operational foundations needed to grow. This role would suit someone who is organised, practical and comfortable working close to the centre of a growing engineering company. Over time, there is scope for the role to develop into a broader operations leadership position as CGEN secures further investment, expands the team and formalises its internal systems.

Supporting early quality-management activity and preparation for future ISO 9001 readiness. Coordinating recruitment administration, onboarding, employee records and probation review tracking. Supporting budget tracking, resource planning and information required by accountants or advisors. Helping organise events, meetings, customer follow-ups and commercial pipeline records. Working closely with the Managing Director to keep company priorities visible and moving. Acting as a liaison between directors, engineers, advisors, suppliers and external partners to help resolve operational issues and maintain momentum. Requirements We are looking for someone who can combine practical organisation with good judgement, attention to detail and the confidence to work across a small but growing company. Essential experience and skills: Experience in operations, project coordination, administration, business management or grant-funded project support. Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple deadlines at once. Experience maintaining action trackers, project records, reports or management information.

Familiarity with quality-management systems, ISO 9001 preparation or document-control processes. Experience supporting board reporting, governance processes or investor-readiness activity. Experience with procurement, supplier coordination, contracts administration or CRM systems. Experience supporting recruitment, onboarding or basic HR administration. Experience with operational software tools, project-management systems or financial-planning tools. Degree or equivalent experience in business, operations, engineering management, project management or a related field.
