Finance Manager - Manufacturing

Build a finance function, rather than stepping into one where everything is established! We are building something new in Peterlee and not everything is in place yet. That is why we need an experienced manufacturing finance person who can bring structure to the numbers, set up practical processes and help build the wider business-support function. Build the function, shape the business and join the site Leadership Team. It's an ‘all hands on deck' situation, where you'll work closely with the Site Manager, Group Finance and international colleagues. You will manage the day-to-day priorities while building the processes and team we need for the future:

• Lead site finance, including reporting, budgets, forecasts, cash flow and working capital.
• Provide clear financial insight to the Site Manager and Leadership Team.
• Build scalable processes across finance, payroll and business support.
• Lead the local ERP rollout, including testing, data migration and training.
• Establish strong controls and support payroll, recruitment, onboarding and site administration. You know manufacturing finance. Maybe you even have some experience from a start-up, growing site or international business. That means you can:
• Produce reliable accounts, budgets and forecasts.
• Understand manufacturing costs, margins and site performance.
• Improve systems and controls without making them unnecessarily complicated.
• Work closely with operational teams and challenge decisions when needed.
• Set the direction while still handling the day-to-day work yourself. Have the freedom to build something that works, backed by an established international Group.
