Finance Manager

This is an exciting and rare opportunity to join a scaling Manufacturing business on the outskirts of Brighton.

Yes it’s a newly founded business, but you’ll join a leadership team with significant industry experience and a strong, already-established project pipeline.

This could suit an experienced Finance Manager or perhaps even a practice-trained accountant, who’s dealt with Manufacturing/ construction clients previously and is now looking for their first move in industry.

As the company’s first finance hire, this position will be “all hands on deck”, including…

• Preparing and presenting high-quality management reports
• Handling day-to-day accounting matters (Payables and Receivables)
• Building the finance function from scratch
• Handling supply chain relations

The successful candidate will need…

• To be ACCA, ACA, or CIMA fully qualified
• To have experience of working within a project-centric environment- be this Manufacturing, Construction or Engineering (gained in practice or industry)
• Commercial nous, as you will be liaising closely/ business partnering with the board
• To be extremely systems savvy- any experience of using AI to sharpen processes would be an advantage
• To be comfortable in what is a hands-on and initially “stand alone” finance role

And you will receive…

• Flexible working arrangements (purely office-based to begin with, but with the option of a couple of days from home once settled)
• Equity within a very ambitious business
• The opportunity to shape the finance function
• 25 days’ leave + Bank Holiday
• Free parking

There’s so many more good things to say about this one, so please drop me a message directly if you’d like to discuss it further- though please note that we are looking to prepare a shortlist for this one within the next week!
