Finance Manager

Location: Ellesmere Port Town

You’ll have the opportunity to build the financial foundations of a growing manufacturing operation, rather than inherit someone else’s processes. As Finance Manager, you’ll take ownership of the numbers from construction and commissioning through to full production, with direct exposure to the CEO, board and investors.

This is a senior, hands-on appointment where you’ll shape systems, controls and reporting while influencing commercial decisions across a capital-intensive operation. As the group grows, there is also a defined development path towards a CFO position.

Direct access to the CEO, Plant Director and board
Genuine ownership of building the company's in-house financial function
Defined development path towards a future CFO position
Exposure to major capital projects, commissioning and operational manufacturing
Opportunity to influence commercial decisions, investment reporting and future growth

Own and develop the integrated financial model, providing scenario analysis to support commercial and strategic decisions
Support fundraising, investor reporting, lender requirements, covenant compliance and due diligence activity
Oversee VAT, statutory accounts, audit, tax, banking, insurance and relevant regulatory requirements
