About the Role
We are seeking a highly capable Finance Manager with approximately 10+ years of experience who is far more than a traditional accountant. This individual will be a trusted partner to the leadership team, providing robust financial control while also driving commercial performance, strategic decision-making, operational efficiency, automation, and business growth.
The successful candidate will be a self-sufficient, proactive, and commercially minded finance professional who can identify opportunities, solve problems, challenge assumptions, and generate ideas that improve both profitability and operational effectiveness.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and lead all core finance operations for selected entities, including management accounts, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow management, financial controls, audit support, and statutory compliance
- Act as a strategic business partner to the leadership team, providing financial insight, commercial analysis, and decision support across the organisation
- Identify, evaluate, and implement cost-saving initiatives across departments, ensuring efficient allocation of resources and improved operating margins
- Proactively analyse revenue drivers, customer profitability, and business performance to identify opportunities for revenue growth and improved profitability
- Build and maintain financial models, business cases, scenario planning, and investment analyses to support strategic initiatives and key business decisions
- Drive process improvement and automation projects, leveraging AI and modern finance technologies to reduce manual effort, improve reporting quality, and increase team productivity
- Develop KPI dashboards and performance reporting frameworks that provide actionable insights to management and support data-driven decision-making
- Lead finance and cross-functional projects end-to-end (concept to implementation), including process automation, systems improvements, and reporting upgrades, to improve business performance and operational effectiveness
