• Strategic input at senior leadership meetings
• Ensuring the finance function operates efficiently, accurately and in line with company policies

This is a commercially focused role where you will be expected to analyse financial data, challenge performance, and provide recommendations to drive improvement across the site.

• Proven experience in a senior finance role within manufacturing or a similar environment
• Strong commercial awareness and the confidence to influence at leadership level
