This is a newly created role offering high visibility across the organisation, reporting to the Finance Director and working closely with the CFO, Operations Director, and CCO.

  • Deliver high-quality analysis to support budgeting, forecasting, and strategic planning.
  • Extract and manipulate data from SAP and other systems to inform decision-making.
  • Develop dashboards and KPIs to improve real-time visibility of business performance.
  • Support month-end processes including stock costing and rebate analysis.
Candidate Profile
  • Qualified Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) or equivalent experience in audit or business analysis.
  • Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel/data visualisation capabilities.
  • Experience in a manufacturing or product-led environment is highly desirable.
  • Confident communicator with the ability to influence non-finance stakeholders.
  • Highly organised, proactive, and detail-oriented.
What’s on Offer
  • Competitive salary: £45k - £55k depending on experience.
  • Exposure to senior leadership and cross-functional teams.
  • Opportunity to shape a new role in a high-growth, PE-backed business.
  • Office-based role in the East Midlands with a collaborative and supportive culture.
