Salary: £70-75k + Exceptional Benefits Package

Are you ready to make a real impact in a dynamic, fast-paced environment? Join a leading FMCG business as a Finance Business Partner, where your expertise will drive operational success and strategic growth.

The Finance function is seen in this business, it's integral to the site and woven into the operation from the leadership team into all areas. That collaborative and integrated working style makes a real difference to the Finance function and those working within it.

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Iconic Brands & Innovation: Work with a major manufacturer known for both recognized brands and innovative own-label products.
• Career Growth: Be part of a seasoned finance team that fosters knowledge sharing and personal development.
• Comprehensive Benefits: Enjoy a highly attractive pension scheme, 4x life assurance, healthcare, car scheme, holiday purchase options, referral bonuses, staff discounts, employee awards, and days off for charity work.
• Ethical Leadership: Contribute to a business with strong ethical values and a commitment to sustainability.
• Flexible Working: Benefit from hybrid working and a flexible, trusted approach to working hours.

Your Role:

As the Finance Business Partner, you will lead a team of Finance Analysts and Cost Accountants, partnering closely with operations to deliver insightful, accurate financial support. You'll be a key player in an integrated finance function that is essential to the success of the entire site.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide comprehensive financial support to operations, delivering precise and actionable insights.
• Lead your team by setting high standards and fostering a culture of ownership and accountability.
• Manage risks and opportunities proactively, ensuring robust financial systems are in place to meet future demands.
• Play a pivotal role in the Group's planning and budgeting process, ensuring consistency and accuracy.
• Drive the successful integration of the finance module in the business-wide S&OP process.

• Presenting to the Senior Team requires confident communication skills and needs an intuitive and investigate approach.
• Being comfortable to be in and amongst the operation, working with line managers in the business getting into the detail and thinking around the daily challenges every manufacturing business faces.

What You Bring:

• A strong background in finance roles within deadline-driven manufacturing environments.
• Demonstrable leadership and team-building skills with a focus on accountability.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities, with the emotional intelligence to lead effectively and build strong relationships across the business.
• Exceptional analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Experience in larger, multi-site businesses is a plus.
• Strong presentation skills, comfortable in both formal and informal settings.
• A balanced, down-to-earth approach, able to confidently challenge and engage at all levels.

Why This Opportunity?

This is more than just a finance role; it's a chance to be at the heart of a business that's on an exciting journey of transformation. You'll have the opportunity to make your mark, influencing key decisions and driving success in a positive, collaborative environment.
