Your Impact

You will be responsible for providing comprehensive financial support service both to and on behalf of the factory and the Factory Financial Controller. You’ll play a key part in providing visibility of all costing related situations associated to our factory processes through controlling variances and delivering value adding insights. You’ll do this pro-actively and in line with financial, legal requirements and our Nestlé Accounting Standards.

Other key responsibilities: -

Provide support on all CAPEX & Fixed Asset related activities including the validation of financials, management of AUC balance and monthly Fixed Assets Register accuracy
Pro-actively challenge assumptions to drive cost improvements across the factory by playing an active part in cost saving improvement projects through identification, review and validation of proposed and actual savings.
Provide visibility and forecasts around all our factory costs through analysis and reporting both on monthly actuals and for the dynamic forecasting process.
Playing an active part in the month end process including raising journals, reconciliations, monthly reporting and monthly variance analysis.
Ensure cost objectives for the factory are achieved by continuously identifying and promoting cost reduction initiatives to the Factory Controller and overall management team, providing support where needed.

Participate and lead business planning activities through preparing and coordinating the factory ACE (Annual Cost Estimate) in conjunction with the Factory Controller. You’ll do this by developing forecasts including revisions and simulations.
Play a key part in identifying and driving cost improvement opportunities through financial insight and internal and external benchmarking.
Support the Factory Controller on best practice implementation in order to demonstrate robust internal controls around all assets and liabilities within the factory.
Develop the factory’s overall understanding of financial data; including its importance whilst providing an environment for people you support to develop their financial capabilities.
Drive, support and accelerate the factory’s NCE (Nestle Centre of Excellence) journey aligned to the UK&I overall NCE strategy.

Be a custodian, ensuring compliance across all things financial for the factory.
Deputising for the Factory Financial Controller as and when required.

Your Ingredients to success

To be successful for this role you will be a part or fully qualified Accountant with, ideally a breadth of finance experience. It would be adventurous if you have had finance experience supporting manufacturing, supply chain or operations. You’ll have a strong aptitude for creatively finding solutions to problems and suggesting new ways of working to enable the factory to compete at a higher level.

Essential:

Strong management accounting skills, including month-end close, accruals, prepayments etc.
Experience in standard costing, analysing material, labour, overhead, usage and efficiency variances
Experience in budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis
Experience supporting Capex projects, including preparing financial evaluations, reviewing project benefits and ensuring appropriate accounting
Experience using ERP systems, ideally SAP
Proficient in Excel, including pivot tables, VLOOKUP, XLOOKUP, SUMIFs and analysis of large datasets
Strong attention to details, financial control awareness and ability to meet tight reporting deadlines
Strong business partnering skills, with confidence to constructively challenge and influence non-finance stakeholders including factory and operational teams

You’ll also have great communication skills that enable you to influence across all levels whilst being able to develop positive cross business relationships. The ability to be flexible when prioritising work in an environment that is often ambiguous is crucial and you’ll be results focused and curious in everything you do.

This really is a fantastic opportunity if you are looking for a role to continue developing your finance career in a factory that is truly leading the way.
