Why Join Greencore?
Following the combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, Greencore is one of the UK’s leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make everyday taste better.
As a vibrant and fast-moving business, we employ over 28,000 colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Our products span every meal occasion, and in FY25 our shared passion helped deliver combined revenues of approximately £4bn.
Our extensive direct-to-store network ensures fresh and frozen food reaches thousands of stores every day. To support this scale, we are delivering a significant transformation through our Making Business Easier (MBE) programme, and this role is a key part of making that change land successfully.
Role Purpose
Prepare financial reports and historical financial performance information to enable others to identify exceptions which require further action.
