As part of this transformation, we're creating exciting opportunities for talented professionals to develop their expertise, broaden their experience and help shape the future of Financial Operations.
Drive Change. Deliver Impact. Accelerate Growth.
At Premier Foods, we're investing in the future of our Premier Business Services (PBS) operation as we continue our journey towards becoming a £3bn business.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing function where you'll lead high-profile projects, work with stakeholders across the business and deliver meaningful change that supports business performance and future growth. Based within our Manchester PBS team, you'll be at the heart of initiatives that help Premier Foods become a more efficient, agile and successful organisation.
What you'll be doing

Working with stakeholders at all levels, you'll help turn strategic ambitions into practical solutions that improve efficiency, strengthen controls and support growth.
