Job Description

Have an appetite for more?

Join a leading global bakery group powered by ambitious people that are truly passionate about delivering the best in everything they do.

With business in mind and people at heart we always work together to influence our road ahead. We want you to be part of our growth journey and of a great, global family.
Reporting to: Head of Controllong

The Opportunity

We’re looking for an ambitious Operations Controller to play a pivotal role at the heart of our manufacturing operation.

This isn’t a passive reporting role—you’ll be a hands-on finance leader, partnering directly with the Site General Manager and cross-functional teams to drive performance, challenge thinking, and turn data into action.

You’ll combine deep analytical capability with the ability to build trusted stakeholder relationships, acting as a true co-pilot to the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own the Numbers – and the Story Behind Them

Lead the end-to-end standard costing and budgeting cycle, bringing clarity to material movements and performance trends
Deliver robust variance analysis, identifying root causes and translating insight into tangible corrective actions
Take ownership of month-end reporting and performance commentary, ensuring accuracy and commercial relevance
Build and enhance Excel models and BI tools to improve visibility on cost, waste and operational efficiency

Be a True Business Partner

Act as a trusted advisor to operations, supporting delivery of site performance targets
Work cross-functionally with commercial, NPD and operations teams, connecting financial insight to business decisions
Bridge the gap between finance and the wider business—ensuring financial data is understood, challenged and acted upon
Influence stakeholders at all levels, balancing challenge with collaboration

Drive Continuous Improvement

Champion a proactive, insight-led approach to performance
Identify opportunities to improve processes, reporting and decision-making
Support strategic and ad-hoc projects that enhance operational efficiency and profitability

Skills & Requirements

What We’re Looking For

We’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, manufacturing environment and enjoys being close to the action.

You’ll Bring:

A hands-on, analytical mindset—you’re comfortable getting into the detail and questioning the numbers
Proven experience in operations finance within FMCG or manufacturing
Strong understanding of standard costing and variance analysis
The ability to translate data into meaningful insight that drives decisions
Advanced Excel skills, with experience building models or dashboards (Power BI a bonus)

Equally Important:

Confident stakeholder management skills—you can influence, challenge and build credibility quickly
Experience working in a business partnering role, supporting operational teams
A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the resilience to meet deadlines
Strong communication skills—you can simplify complex financial information for non-finance audiences

Why This Role Stands Out

You’ll be embedded in the business, not sitting on the sidelines
You’ll have real influence over operational performance and decision-making
You’ll combine technical finance expertise with commercial impact
You’ll work in an environment where your insight drives change

If you’re looking for a role where you can roll up your sleeves, challenge the status quo, and make a measurable impact, we’d love to hear from you.

We will interview ongoing so please don’t hesitate to send your application by submitting your CV and motivational letter no later than insert date.

If you have any questions about the position or recruitment process you are welcome to contact Tammy Davies.

All applications must be completed in English and will be treated confidentially.

It goes right. Right from the start. New people start at Lantmännen Unibake every day. We’re used to creating the right beginning, right from day one. We’re ready for you.

Baking is a people business. Lantmännen Unibake has flour on its hands and people at its heart. The whole process of making everyday products takes team work, open-ness and mutual respect.

It's a group thing. Working for a global business is different. You feel connected to something bigger. Your team has a higher purpose. Ripples turn into waves.

It's about baking the future. We are taking baking further. Not just geographically but in terms of innovation. We have a proud heritage but we want to explore new products, markets and opportunities.

Diversity is a reality. Not an ambition. Not only are we global, we hire a multitude of nationalities. At the moment, your future colleagues come from more than 40 countries.
