Finance Business Partner
Glasgow area
Excellent salary and benefits package including car allowance and bonus, hybrid working
Iconic Resourcing are delighted to be retained by an international industrial group based in the Glasgow area on a confidential Finance Business Partner search for its UK production business.
This is a high-visibility role with real influence. You'll be one of the most senior people in the local organisation, owning financial control and business partnering and working directly with the Operations and Commercial Directors, who share accountability for the P&L.
You'll be the link between production (costs and planning) and the commercial side (purchasing, sourcing and sales). The business wants someone who understands what's driving the numbers and can explain it in a way that changes decisions.
Key responsibilities
- Own monthly performance reporting against budget and forecast, breaking variances down into real causes such as yield, production loss, cost and volume
- Lead budgeting (OPEX and CAPEX), forecasting, year-end landings and close
- Deliver product cost planning, analysis and inventory accounting
- Run period-end close to tight deadlines and prepare the business for the annual audit
- Act as a trusted adviser to the directors and help build one joined-up operations and commercial team
- Work in SAP S/4HANA and produce analysis and models that feed standardised European reporting in Power BI
- Ensure finance processes follow group standards, and escalate risks and compliance issues
- Lead and develop a small finance team
- Support improvement and change as the business grows, with potential for further expansion
