A well‑established and growing manufacturing group in Staffordshire is seeking a hands‑on Management Accountant to join the business following a recent acquisition.

This is a newly created role designed to strengthen the link between operations and finance across two manufacturing sites. The position offers significant scope to influence performance, improve processes and deliver meaningful commercial insight.

If you want a role where you can get onto the shop floor, understand how products are built, and directly impact profitability — this is that opportunity.

, working closely with Site and Operations Directors to truly understand how the business operates.

  Standard costings, BOMs and routings, Scrap and yield, Inventory and WIP accuracy, Analysing sales mix and margin drivers
• Identifying improvement opportunities and driving corrective action

There are genuine quick wins to be made and real opportunity to shape systems, controls and performance.

• Manufacturing or engineering finance background (essential)
• Part‑qualified (CIMA/ACCA/ACA) or qualified by experience
• Strong Excel and ERP/MRP knowledge
• Confident communicator, comfortable working with operational teams
• Commercially curious, proactive and hands‑on

You will need to be comfortable travelling to the Telford site once per week and building strong on‑site relationships.

This role offers far more than a standard Management Accountant position:

A newly created role where you can shape processes and make visible impact.

Work closely with Operations Directors and gain genuine commercial insight.

Full study support and the opportunity to broaden your commercial skillset.

Involvement in integration, system improvement and performance projects.

Join a growing group following acquisition, with strong potential for future advancement.

Be part of a fast‑paced, technical production setting where finance is valued as a business partner.
