Finance Manager - Plant Operations

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

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.
