About W Talent
W Talent is a specialist recruitment partner working across finance and manufacturing sectors, connecting high-quality talent with leading businesses across the UK. We take a consultative, relationship-led approach and support both clients and candidates throughout the recruitment process.
We are currently partnering with a long-established manufacturing business to recruit a Senior Finance Business Partner to join their finance team.
The Opportunity
This is a commercially focused, hands-on finance business partnering role within a manufacturing environment. The position is not focused on statutory accounting, but instead on financial control, operational performance, and decision support across production and commercial teams.
You will play a key role in supporting the business to understand risks, opportunities, cost drivers, and shopfloor efficiency improvements, working closely with operational leaders to improve performance and financial visibility.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
