Known for its commitment to operational excellence and sustainability, the company supports a wide range of public and private sector clients. It offers a collaborative and forward-thinking environment where finance professionals can make a tangible impact on business performance.

Your new role
This is a key finance role, reporting to the Senior Finance Manager. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering insightful monthly reporting, supporting re-forecasting and budgeting processes, and driving financial performance across assigned contracts.

Key Responsibilities

  • Prepare and present monthly financial reports with analysis of performance by activity/area.
  • Partner with operational teams to improve financial outcomes and coach financial awareness.
  • Support periodic re-forecasts and annual budget/business planning.
  • Conduct site visits to challenge and support financial performance.

What you'll need to succeed
We’re looking for a commercially minded finance professional who is either qualified, part-qualified, or qualified by experience. The ideal candidate will bring a strong track record of delivering financial insight and support, ideally within sectors such as waste management, utilities, or manufacturing. You’ll have excellent analytical skills and be confident working with financial systems such as SAP and reporting tools like Cognos BI. Strong Excel skills are essential. This role requires someone who can build credibility across operational teams, communicate effectively at all levels, and influence decision-making. A full UK driving licence is required, as regional travel to operational sites will be part of the role. If you're a self-starter with resilience, attention to detail, and a collaborative mindset, this could be a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact.

What you'll get in return
Along with a rewarding benefits package including a company car, this role offers a unique opportunity to influence financial strategy and contribute directly to operational decision-making. You'll be part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that values insight, initiative, and continuous improvement. The position provides exposure to high-impact projects and senior stakeholders, making it ideal for someone looking to grow their professional profile. The organisation fosters a supportive environment for development, with opportunities to expand your skills and take on new challenges. Flexible working arrangements and regional travel are also part of the role, offering variety and autonomy in your day-to-day work.
