We’re looking for a motivated Finance professional to join our Site Finance Team. The successful candidate will report to the Finance Business Partner, supporting the Heads of Manufacturing, Operations Managers and Functional Heads with Site Overheads (ZBB costs) to drive operational efficiency, support delivery of site KPIs whilst ensuring we meet financial targets and compliance commitments.

You will help develop financial understanding at site, by delivering actionable financial insight and analysis to support management and control of circa £50m of ZBB costs per annum. Along with day-to-day cost management, the role includes raw/packaging material product costing, stock provisions and critical compliance deliverables.

The right candidate will have worked in Finance for several years and will be looking to develop their skills and experience in a large, blue‑chip, FMCG business. They will have demonstrated their ability to understand business issues and apply their knowledge in a way which translates financial data into meaningful reporting used to improve decision making and drive business performance. Rather than operating on gut feel, the Kraft Heinz Management System encourages us to make informed choices using facts and data.

Along with monthly reporting routines, the Finance Analyst will support the preparation of monthly forecasts and the annual planning cycle for their area of responsibility. The successful candidate will also work with the Manufacturing Finance Lead and Finance Analyst, responsible for variable costs, along with supporting process improvement projects and helping ensure our compliance commitments are completed in a timely manner.
